WHAT IS STOPS?
A stop is a doubling or halving of the amount of light let in when taking a photo or capturing some motion.
"Stops" let you directly compare and swap shutter speed, aperture, and ISO speed to produce the image you want.
OTHER TERMS :
LIGHT OPAL FROST: 420 Light Opal Frost Diffuses light reducing the contrast between highlight areas. A weak diffusion is similar to Opal Frost less diffuse. Manufactured on a 36-micron polyester base.
HAMPSHIRE FROST: 253 Hampshire Frost
Diffuses light reducing the contrast between highlight areas.
HEAVY FROST: 129 Heavy Frost
Diffuses light reducing the contrast between highlight areas
KELVIN: When talking about photography the term ‘kelvin’ refers to the unit of measurement of color temperature. Every source of light emits light at a specific color temperature which can be measured in degrees Kelvin or ‘K’.
SOME IMAGES :
GRID CLOTH (USED FOR DIFFUSION)
TOUGH SPUN
MUSLIN CLOTH (BLEACHED)
MUSLIN CLOTH (UNBLEACHED)
CHINA BALL (COVERED WITH CLOTH TO DIFFUSE THE LIGHT)

MIRED SHIFTS FOR COLOR CORRECTION GEL:
MIRED's are used for calculating color temperature conversions. The math always gets lost in my head so I often use Lee's online MIRED calculator >>>
Here's a link to Rosco's Filter Facts PDF that has a good explanation of the Mired Formula and how to use it >>>
TO INCREASE KELVIN:
CTB (Color Temperature Blue)-131 MIRED (Converts 3200k to 5500k or 2900k to 5200k)
1/2 CTB -68 MIRED (Converts 3200k to 4100k or 2900k to 3800k)
1/4 CTB -30 MIRED (Converts 3200k to 3500k or 2900k to 3200k)
1/8 CTB -12 MIRED (Converts 3200k to 3300k or 2900k to 3000k)
TO DECREASE KELVIN:
CTO (Color Temperature Orange) +167 MIRED (Converts 6500k to 3200k or 5500k to 2900k)
1/2 CTO +81 MIRED (Converts 5500k to 3800k)
1/4 CTO +42 MIRED (Converts 5500k to 4500k)
1/8 CTO +20 MIRED (Converts 5500k to 4900k)
CTS (Color Temperature Straw) +160 MIRED (Converts 5500k to 3200k)
1/2 CTS +81 MIRED (Converts 5500k to 3800k)
1/4 CTS +42 MIRED (Converts 5500k to 4500k)
1/8 CTS +20 MIRED (Converts 5500k to 4900k)
