The effect on the negative of the yellow filters - paper negative that is, not film - (at the moment of taking the picture) in my experience is to reduce contrast and improve tonal range. I use filter 0. I get a good tonal range, particularly for skies which is one of the things you notice most because of the strong contrast with land.
