Introducing Quest Tools 11 – Diffusion Filters, a powerful Lightroom toolset designed to authentically replicate the signature look of the industry’s most beloved physical diffusion filters.
Built for photographers and visual storytellers who crave the dreamy glow, subtle halation, and cinematic softness of pro-grade optics, this toolset features 16 individually crafted presets, each utilizing advanced Lightroom masking layers for precision control and creative flexibility.
Carefully tuned to emulate the characteristics of real-world filters, Quest Tools 11 includes faithful recreations of:

Black Pro Mist – Adds a soft, glowing effect to highlights while preserving detail in shadows.
CineBloom – Reduces contrast and adds an even softness across the frame.
Gold Diffusion – Softens detail and contrast while introducing a warm, atmospheric tone.
Low Contrast – Flattens tonal range and subtly reduces clarity for a muted look.
Digital Diffusion – Introduces gentle softness and smooth texture with a clean, modern feel.

Whether you’re chasing the cinematic glow of golden hour, softening digital sharpness, or enhancing the mood of a scene, Diffusion Filters delivers tactile, lens-grade effects—right inside Lightroom.

Quest Tools 11 - Diffusion Filters will be an optional purchase available exclusively to Quest subscribers at launch.
