## Hoofdstuk 16. Filters

## 1. Introduction

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. GIMP uses filters to achieve a variety of effects and those effects are discussed here.

The filters are divided into several categories:

- Paragraaf 2, “Blur Filters”

- Paragraaf 3, “Enhance Filters”

- Paragraaf 4, “Distort Filters”

- Paragraaf 5, “Light and Shadow Filters”

- Paragraaf 6, “ Noise Filters ”

- Paragraaf 7, “Edge-Detect Filters”

- Paragraaf 8, “Generic Filters”

- Paragraaf 9, “ Combine Filters ”

- Paragraaf 10, “ Artistic Filters ”

- Paragraaf 11, “ Decor Filters ”

- Paragraaf 12, “ Map Filters ”

- Paragraaf 13, “ Rendering Filters ”

- Paragraaf 14, “ Web Filters ”

- Paragraaf 15, “Animation Filters”

### 1.1. Preview

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.
