Diffusion filters can change a few different attributes to the image.
A video showing all of the differences of diffusion filters.
Black Pro Mist
A softening filter that will reduce highlights, lower contrast, and soften the overall image. It also blooms highlights as seen in the bright lightbulb in the example. Common strengths used are 1/8 and 1/4
Stockings
A type of diffusion filter is actually just a stocking stretched over the lens. This can be done on the front or the rear of the lens. This creates a soft glowing look in any of the bright areas of your frame. Using lighter colored stockings vs. dark stockings will give a different effect.
