He is probably referring to split-grade printing, which is the combination of two separate exposures, one with a soft and the other with a hard filter. It is a very useful tool when local dodging or burning is combined with this technique. Otherwise, it is exactly the same as using a color enlarger and mixing soft and hard filtration in one exposure. Nevertheless, it has no influence on your problem. It doesn't help or hurt in printing C41 films. Regards Ralph W.
