If she's shooting fuji or kodachrome I don't think she would do that, I don't recall her prints having an extra warm effect However there may be requirements of reproduction that she feels the warming of the film requires. That Ektachrome SW? is already so incredibly warm I doubt she's using that. From memory it think it goes along the lines of an 81a warming 100k and and 81b warming 200k and that you easily be checked out. An 81b is the only Hasselblad filter I own and I bought it with the first camera and lens for catalog work. This is how it was widely felt in the early 80's and this was when fuji was less excessible. I rarely use warming filters anymore because the films have gotten warmer and IMO fuji never needed it. It could be she just likes very warm fleshtones. Mark Rabiner
