Thanks for the triangles of knowledge John. One of the reasons i asked was in part due to my sunglasses. I'll wait for the laughter to die down, 3 2 1, that should do it.
Until recently i had been wearing "old man driving shades" the yellow wrap a rounds that go over eye glasses. It was very noticeable especially in fall during leaf changing that what i saw was darker greens and really poppy reds and oranges. I have clip on shades now, brown in colour and they do the same. Not sure if these shades would be classified as yellow filters or polarisers. I think this fall i will try out my old yellow and green filters and see Also i see filters in PSEL9 i'll play with those.
