1. An optical filter, comprising a color tone correcting squarylium compound having general formula (2):wherein
at least one of R10, R11, R12, and R13 is a nitro group, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atom(s), a halogen-substituted alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atom(s), an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atom(s) or a halogen-substituted alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atom(s), and other is/are each a hydrogen atom, at least one of R14, R15, R16, and R17 is a nitro group, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atom(s), a halogen-substituted alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atom(s), an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atom(s) or a halogen-substituted alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atom(s), and other is/are each a hydrogen atom, X1 and X2 each represents —CR53R54—, wherein R53 and R54 each represents an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atom(s) optionally substituted by a hydroxyl group, a halogen atom, a cyano group or a nitro group, and Y3 and Y4 each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atom(s) optionally substituted by a hydroxyl group, a halogen atom, a cyano group or a nitro group, an aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms optionally substituted by a hydroxyl group, a halogen atom, a cyano group or a nitro group, or an arylalkyl group having 7 to 30 carbon atoms optionally substituted by a hydroxyl group, a halogen atom, a cyano group or a nitro group, wherein the methylene group(s) in the alkyl groups and arylalkyl groups in the Y3 and Y4 may be interrupted by —O—, —S—, —CO—, —COO—, —OCO—, —SO2—, —NH—, —CONH—, —NHCO—, —N═CH— or —CH═CH—.
