Interested in getting Lee's filters. but need to get advices from those who shot landscape and used GND filters. Do you use screw-on or holder type? What brand of GND do you use? Do you use ND2, ND4 or ND8? Do you use hard or soft grad?
i already have a cokin holder (P holder) that is 84mm wide internal diameter and a ND4 GND, but finds it both clumsy and yet does not looks good. thinking of converting to lee's filter instead but wondering should i keep the cokin holder and get just the filters from lee. but the p series from lee (also 84mm) are made of resin, not glass. only the circular polarizer from lee are glass.

is it true that photoshop can achieve exactly the same effect that a good GND filter can apply, but a filter can help to decrease the bright background exposure from the sky to increase the foreground and subject exposure, while enabling a longer shutter duration, such as movement of the tides?
also like to know if anyone know how can i get lee's filters as cathay dun hold the stock for it anymore.
