Yes, with the caveat that the artist may not like the effect unless it is dialed back a bit in Photoshop--depends on the image, of course. But the polarizing filter is an essential tool and probably the only reason I've hung on to my Spectroscan. When you need it you really need it.

It also has the effect of "buffering" optical brighteners....it gives the effect of something in between full UV-exclude and UV-include filters. With papers that have a a fair amount of OBAs, I usually find neither full UV include/exclude gives the best visual results but usually an average of both...something that polarization seems to do automatically. Of course, with the Spectroscan, you better have some time on your hands because an already slow instrument is made even slower with the POL filter.
