Blur filters

Filters are applied to your image from the Filters menu (destructive) or Layer menu (non-destructive) and mostly include customisable settings alongside general options. Non-destructive filters are called live filters, and, once applied, they can be identified as both a filter and a specific filter type by using unique symbols.
