Imposes a mosaic effect on a image by dividing the bitmap into tiles of a specified size and changing the color of all pixels in each tile to the average color of pixels in the tile. See also Pixelate.Average Blur
Changes the color of each pixel in the image to the average color of pixels in its neighborhood. This causes a blur effect. See also Average Blur.Median Blur
Changes the color of each pixel in the image to the median color of pixels in its neighborhood. This is equivalent to the Average filter, but it is used to decrease noise, rather than add a blur effect. See also Median Blur.Add Noise
Adds pixels to an image at any location, letting you specify percentage of coverage and the color plane. See also Add Noise.Emboss
Applies an emboss effect to the image, letting you specify depth and direction of the effect. See also Emboss.Underlay
Combines two images so that one looks to be an underlying texture for the other. This is good when the underlying image is a filtered one, such as an embossed image. See also Underlay.Solarize
Applies an effect that mimics the accidental exposure of photographic film to light. It does so by inverting all color data with an intensity value greater than or the same as the threshold that you give. See also Solarize.Edge Enhance
Enhance the edges in the image.
