The Tiffen CC10Y 4 x 5.65" yellow filter is a colour compensation (or correction) filter used to adjust colour balance. It can be placed in front of a light source or your camera lens to modify the colour balance of a scene. It can also be used to apply colour corrections when using an enlarger in a darkroom or to help preview colour adjustments when examining prints.

Yellow is the opposite colour to blue and can be used to reduce blue tones or colour casts in a scene or print. This CC10 yellow filter is denser than a CC05 filter and less dense than a CC20 filter, and requires a 0.3 stop compensation to achieve normal exposure.

Tiffen filters are manufactured using ColorCore technology; a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass and polishing it flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This filter measures 4 x 5.65" / 101.6 x 143.5 mm.
