A filter is a special kind of tool designed to take an input layer or
image, apply a mathematical algorithm to it, and return the input layer or
image in a modified format. The GIMP uses
filters to achieve a variety of effects and those effects are discussed
here.
The filters are divided into several categories:
-
Blur
-
Colors
-
Noise
-
Edge-Detect
-
Enhance
-
Generic
-
Glass Effects
-
Light Effects
-
Distorts
-
Artistic
-
Map
-
Render
-
Web
-
Animation
-
Combine
Most filters have a Preview where changes in the image are displayed,
in real time (if the “Preview” option is checked),
before being applied to the image.
Right clicking on the Preview window opens a submenu which lets you
set the Style and the Size of checks representing transparency.
