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.
