A UV filter would only be effective for film. If you are talking about a digital camera then a UV filter would be pointless because the camera's auto colour balance would compensate for the filter. It is down to the colour balance setting on the camera or correcting the colour balance in photo editing software.
Not quite true! Filters work just as well for digital as they do for film, I have a skylight 1B fitted all the time. I use the Lee and Cokin filter system regularly for my landscape work in both film and digital, I find it hard to tell the difference when both are uploaded to the computer, (before Photoshop that is).
