@ rookie wizard - there is a bit of a cheat you can do with a point and shoot... if you have a pair of polarised sunglasses you can hold them infront of your lens (a tip i think i read on DPS somewhere sometime ago!). You should watch out for reflections though, i tried it before but not with much success.

I dont really understand the science behind it, but the filter eliminates reflections by only allowing light through the lens in a certain direction (thats probably a really lame explanation!). You cannot replicate this in photoshop because the filter is changing the behaviour of the light as it comes into your camera. There may well be techniques to mimic the effect, but it really never can be the same.


I've been using a polariser for a while now, since posting this comparison some time ago and I have to say that it is the one filter I would never want to do without now.
