A while ago, someone - I can't remember who - was discussing the use of color filters for seeing and/or canceling out cancels for better images.

Can someone tell me where I can find that thread or who it was?

I'd like to invest in a similar set of those filters.

Thanks in advance!

There was an article on these color filters in the October 19, 2015 edition of Linn's Stamp News. Page 52.

If you have a store like TAP Plastics near you, they usually have a "scrap bin" where you can choose small size pieces of all colors for pennies.

Randy, I second the retroreveal.org suggestion. It doesn't help with every situation, but it can produce some amazing results. The learning curve isn't much of an obstacle and it's free!
