Filters allow you to apply real-time post-processing effects to any layer. Unlike the permanent editing tools (like the image crop or blur), filters are non-destructive—you can change their values at any time without affecting the original asset.
Using Filters
- Select any layer on the canvas.
- Open the Filters tab in the Inspector panel.
- Click Add Filter and choose an effect from the dropdown.
- Adjust the Value slider to change the intensity of the effect.
Supported Filter Types
| Filter | Description | Value Unit |
|---|
| Gaussian Blur | Blurs the layer evenly in all directions. | Radius (px) |
| Hue Rotate | Shifts the colors of the layer along the color wheel. | Angle (deg) |
| Saturate | Increases or decreases color intensity. | Multiplier |
| Contrast | Adjusts the difference between light and dark areas. | Multiplier |
| Sepia | Applies a warm, antique brown tone. | Intensity (0-1) |
| Invert | Flips all colors to their opposites (negative effect). | Toggle |
Managing Filters
- Order Matters: Filters are applied from top to bottom. A “Hue Rotate” applied after a “Sepia” will look different than if the order were reversed.
- Toggle Visibility: Click the checkbox next to a filter’s name to temporarily disable it.
- Multiple Filters: You can add the same filter multiple times to stack effects.
- Delete: Click the trash icon to remove a filter entirely.
Performance Note: Adding many complex filters (especially Gaussian Blur) to multiple layers can impact performance on older devices. Use them where necessary, but avoid overusing them on large, high-resolution layers.
