The Filters in Affinity Photos are extensive, ranging from simple blurs to dynamic relighting tools. In today's session we get started in Filters (with many more to cover still). Performance is amazing, and we even snuck a peek at one of the blur filters on iOS to see how it compared… and it was incredible! 

Here are the filters we looked at today:

• Gaussian Blur Filter
• Box Blur Filter
• Median Blur Filter
• Bilateral Blur Filter
• Motion Blur Filter
• Lens Blur Filter
• Depth of Field Filter
• Field Blur Filter
• Diffuse Glow Filter
• Clarity Filter
• Unsharp Mask Filter (kinda sorta not really… and I thought I had a good explanation of it elsewhere on this site but I've failed to find it, sorry)
• High Pass Filter
• Ripple Filter
• Twirl Filter
• Spherical Filter
• Displace Filter
• Pinch / Punch Filter
• Lens Distortion Filter
• Denoise Filter
• Add Noise Filter
• Diffuse Filter
• Vignette Filter
• Defringe Filter (and I'll revisit this one next week with a better sample)

We skipped Dust & Scratches, Perspective, Lighting and Shadows / Highlights Filters as we'll come back to those next week.
