Question: before and after photos of using a high resolution filter for a digital slr camera?
http://www.shopsunshine.com/images/filterkit_dsn.jpg
such as those^^^ i mean what would the difference beAnswer: Antoni's right. Filters can mess things up if they are low quality glass, so maybe that's what the seller means by "high resolution." Interestingly, I did an internet search for "High resolution filter" and the first one I came up with shows the usual UV, Polarizer, and an odd-ball Fluorescent filter. The thing is, they don't mention the filter size - essential for ordering - and these three in the kit cost $299.99! Man, that's got to be some exotic glass. They don't even tell you what brand they are. The place I saw selling them, though, rates a ZERO out of ten at www.resellerratings.com. No surprise.
One eBay seller has the same 3-piece set for $18.99.
The store you link to has about an 8 out of 10 rating: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Shopsunshine_Sunshine_Electronics_DSN_Digital_Shopping_Network
When I go to their site, and search for "high resolution filter," I only see a brand that I never heard of called Crystal Optics polarizing filters and they cost $34.99, regardless of the size. When I search for brands like Hoya, Tiffen, B+W or Cokin, there are no hits at all. You might prefer to buy your camera supplies at a photo store.

Here's my stock answer about filters:
Many people use a skylight or UV filter to protect the front glass of the lens, but you can also buy high quality plano glass filters for that purpose. Whatever you do, at least buy a decent quality filter instead of trying to get off cheap.
Personally, I'd say the first place to start for effects is a polarizing filter. You want a "circular" polarizer.
You might also find a Neutral Density filter (varying degrees of darkness are available) useful for taking shots of bright subjects at wider apertures or slower speeds.
As far as all the rest, you can do this in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. Okay, I don't want to argue with anyone about how it's better to use the real filter, but our asker can try a few in Photoshop (etc) "for free" and see which ones will be the most useful before you start spending money on the real thing.
Or, go here http://www.thkphoto.com/products/hoya/index.html and see what you can learn.
Or here http://www.tiffen.com/tiffen_filters.html Tiffen makes a kit to get you started on filters, if you think you want more than one. They include a polarizer, a UV filter and a warming filter. B&H Photo and many other places sell this kit.
Many people use a UV filter simply to protect the front element of their lens from damage. "UV filters absorb ultraviolet rays which often make outdoor photos hazy or indistinct." (from: http://www.thkphoto.com/products/hoya/gf-01.html )
We get this question often enough that I decided to upload a sample to Flickr showing the same subject taken with and without a UV filter. Download the image, cut a small section out of the top half and drag it to the same section in the bottom half and see what you think. The photos were taken about 15 seconds apart in subdued sunlight, so I think the lighting was virtually identical for each. There was no post-processing at all so you can make a fair comparison. I will not comment any further and let you decide for yourself if there is any color shift.
The picture was taken with a Nikon D200 at ISO 100 with the Nikon 18-200 VR lens @ 112 mm at f/5.3.
Buy a name brand like Hoya or Tiffen. Don't get cheap junk to put on the front of your fine lens.

For what it's worth, I had a skylight filter on my 17-55 lens and I dropped my camera and broke the filter! I decided to replace it with an optically clear piece of glass, sold by Nikon solely as a lens protector. I think the skylight and UV filters are NOT as neutral as everyone says they are and I would like to start out with images as Nikon intended for me to see them.
Another excellent place to find Digital Camera Filter is on Amazon... They have way more than just books!

Q: digital camera filter?In traditional film photography, a yellow against a blue sky creates contrast effects that Interesting, no? Is there a way to achieve the same effect in Photoshop in a digital photo of the clouds? step by step instructions would be sweet. I am familiar with adjustment layers, masks, and opacity, I imagine that these would help? Thank you.
Like this: And yes http://www.outbackphoto.com/workflow/wf_04/500_21_14_x02_0005_0236_Orchard_boost_yellow_bw.jpg - Similar to the traditional b / w photography.
Answer: I am not an expert in photo shop, but perhaps the creation a new layer to reject the very low opacity and take appropriate yellow. I do not think you can get the same effect as a filter in photoshop but could be surprised.
