What are the benefits of using a polarizing filter? Why is polarizing filter recognized among most photographers as an essential must-have filter? Does Photoshop or other equivalent editing tool work instead of polarizer? A polarizing filter allows you to; - control reflections from non-metallic objects; the surface of water, window, or glossy coating/painting. - prevent and reduce glare, still however, allow plenty of light through. It also makes subjects underwater transparent. - Enhance color saturation and contrast, especially under a scene of deep blue sky, vivid white clouds, spring greenery, or autumn color of leaves. Have you ever experienced, when taking landscape photography, ending up with a little different color from the actual landscape you have seen? The sky must have been more vivid and bluish in your eyes. A polarizing filter can properly contrast the crystal blue sky and the white clouds. Many photographers predominantly carry a polarizing filter, particularly for landscape photography next step after Lens Protector/UV filter in terms of protection, for some reason. The effects of polarizers cannot be easily mimicked with digital editing. Carrying a polarizer makes your image more vivid and clear, turning the actual landscape you've seen into your picture.

I add my own: polarizing filters are used to look / photograph through windows with glare.
