Soft/FX uses a different approach for dealing with how it reduces the sharpness and resolution of an image. This is by dispensing many different strengths of oval lenslets within the laminated glass. The resulting image is affected in a slightly different way to how the acid etching of a digital diffusion filter works. Due to the size in which the internal lens can be produced, the light that is bent on these internal lenses is bent on an overall effect of the image. Therefore the softness is more widely spread over the image, meaning the resolution is reduced to a greater degree at a lower density. The physical effect of this process also means that the spread of bent light form the lenslets in the heavier densities produces a slight halation around the practical and specular light sources as well.
