What are some specific uses for diffusion gel filters ?
The softer light achieved with diffusion gels can help to reduce facial blemishes and wrinkles as well as to supress unwanted glare in a subject's eyes. Diffusion gels can also widen the beam of a light so it covers a larger area, giving you better coverage per light. They are also great tools to have on set when you're lighting a green screen, giving you the ability to spread the beam of light from a tungsten fixture to provide more even coverage on your background and helping you get a better key.
What is the advantage to having so many different types of diffusion gels?
With a variety of diffusion levels, you can better dial in the level of softening you need for any type of subject and for any type of lighting setup. You can adjust your lighting with more subtlety to make your production more professional looking.

Diffusion gels work by spreading out the beam of a light source giving it a softer edge. The wider the beam width is spread the softer the shadows it produces will be. Diffusion gels also help to give your lights a better three dimensional wrap. Above, you can see the effect of adding a diffusion gel in cutting down glare in the subject's face as well as in softening shadows and filling in details.
