Unless I've forgotten the terminology?

Apart from all that I'm now struggling to understand
why precisely filter factors are necessary. Any clues?
I think it may have to do with an averaging of negative
densities across the spectrum. Filtering out some portion
of the spectrum does not affect film sensitivity yet most
filters require an increase in exposure. Dan
Dan,
I believe that filters reduce the amount of light passing through them across the whole spectrum, they just reduce the complementary color more than the rest of the spectrum.
