I've used CPL filter for outdoor landscape shots before but, I'm curious how many of you use CPL filters for outdoor portraits?
I love the affect of blue skies the CPL filters give out but, would the filter hinder the skin tone?

So I guess partial jewelery... the metal on the watch/ring may not play as nice as the watch face or the stone mounted on that ring... EOS R6’ / 1D X / 1D IV (and the wife has a T4i)
