Colour filters

Use colour filters to add creative colour effects or correct colour anomalies in your photo.

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.
