Soft lens, also known as soft lens. This is etched by photography. Methods a series of small grooves with diffusion function were presented on the transparent mirror surface or the transparent interlayer surface of two lenses, and the figures were round or square. If these patterns are densely distributed and corroded deeply, the effect of image softening will be more serious. On the contrary, the less the pattern distribution, the shallower the corrosion and the less the image softening effect.

The soft lens is made of transparent glass, and the surface of the glass is corroded to be uneven. When the light passes through the lens surface, it will scatter, thus softening the outline of the subject, reducing the contrast and producing the "soft light" effect.

This "soft light" effect of soft lens makes it widely used in portrait photography. It can cover up some flaws in a person's face or skin and make this person smoother and more charming. When shooting outdoors, you can make the photos full of mysterious and romantic colors.

The main functions of soft mirror include softening the image, reducing the contrast of the picture, adjusting the color and tone of the picture, or forming special picture effects according to the creative intention, thus making the picture more interesting.
