Filter basics
Reading a lot of "basic tips" articles lately, and filter articles and whatnot, seems when you're looking for images that really pop, two filters are heavily recommended. Polarizer and warming. I know what a polarizer does outside, popping saturation especially in blues, sharpens up a tad..but will a polarizer benefit me if I'm shooting under studio lights. I shoot my first roll of color the other day and I'm looking at them and couldn't figure out why they look so...blah. They all look very cold. Is a polarizer going to help me in any way in the studio? Also can you give me the low down on warming filters. 80A, 81C, 82B.... I just don't understand the letters, are they grades/strengths?I found the following image by Václav and now I have these ideas coming up in my head with some local areas and I just want them to turn out and not be so dull in color. I'll be using 160VC w/ gold reflectors and lights. Is a warming filter going to really help my work outside pop?

Nevermind I'm going to go with an 81B I believe. If anyone has any advice or tips that would be greatly appreciated. Does a polarizer help on skins at all or when increasing saturation would it color shift skins awkwardly?
