The Tiffen 2 x 3" 3 Magenta Hard-Edge Graduated Filter helps to specifically add a pinkish, magenta coloration to skies and other bright areas of an image while allowing a portion of the image to remain neutrally colored. The filter's coloring is densest at the edge and tapers to clear by the middle, with a hard-edged transition between the density and clear areas. The 3 color density provides less magenta coloration than the 4 density, but more than the 2 density filter.
