The supplied filters are stored in the filter library. Additional filters you create can also be stored there. To open the filter library, click Load or Save in the Filter menu.

The following table describes some of the filters available in the filter library.

Use: | To:
--- | ---
Softening filters | Cause the image to appear less focused by decreasing the contrast between adjacent pixels.
Sharpening filters | Provide light, medium, and heavy levels of image sharpening. These filters improve the clarity and focus of an image by increasing the contrast between adjacent pixels.
Outline filters | Outline areas where sudden colour changes occur in an image.
Saturate and Desaturate filters | Decrease or increase the amount of grey in an image. Saturation refers to the colour purity, or the amount of grey in the image. Less grey creates a more saturated image.
Scanner Correct filters | Remove undesirable effects encountered with scanned images.
Fragmentation and Reticulation filters | Displace pixels in the source image.
Negative filters | Produce a negative of the source image.
