Consider the below scenario:
Two identical camera of the same brand and model are setup with the same lens (let us assume the camera is an Arri Alexa or Blackmagic URSA Mini). The two cameras are shooting next to each in an outdoor daylight scene. Both cameras are in continuous/steady operation. Camera A has no lens filters however with camera B, ND filters, cool and warm filters and a series of different filters are fitted one at a time and each is left in the camera for 15 seconds while the camera is recording the scene.
The RAW footage from camera A and camera B are then played side by side and color graded by way of applying the same LUT to both footage.
As a reminder, camera A had no filter and camera B had a series of filters applied in sequence.
The questions here are as below:
1. When looking at the footage comparison, will camera B's footage look certainly different than camera A's footage especially when the various lens filters are used on camera B?
2. When a lens filter (be it ND, warm/cool or whatever) is used on a camera it therefore enhances the image in some way to make it look better or different etc. than if no lens filters were used. The question here is, when a camera is recording using a lens filter attached to the lens, is the enhancement baked permanently into the image? Is it possible via software to remove the enhancement and get 100% original picture quality as if no lens filter was used (i.e. footage than looks 100% like camera A's footage)?
