>>3790711Found an interesting forum thread about it (not the most objective source, but interesting):
https://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/27604-simulating-a-tiffen-black-pro-mist-filter-in-post/The giveaway is clipped highlights (especially the reflections on the hair) from the glow effect. I think that's somewhat evident here
>>3790719 as well. That said, if you knew you were going to add it in post, I'd bet you could stop down 1/3-2/3 stops and compensate for it a little.
Either way, I'd argue there are still pros to using the filter instead of adding it in post. You could theoretically emulate a circular polarizer in post, it's just going to take a lot of time and effort compared to if you shot with the filter. More time and effort than emulating the glow I'm sure, but if you know you want that effect, why spend the extra time and effort compensating for the clipping while shooting, and then editing it in at the end?
