    A clear, high quality, multi-coated UV filter will have no noticeable effect in your photo. All digital cameras already filter out UV light. So, the only reason to put a UV filter in front of your lens is to protect it.

    Main Software: Capture NX2; Adobe PhotoShop CS2; Corel Paintshop Pro X2 Ultimate

    UV filters do have an effect, just quite a lot less than with film. It can still get rid of some haze in the distance.
