Built-in filters macOS includes many built-in filters, including the following ones. Mac OS X 10.4 introduced over 100 of them, and Mac OS X 10.5 has added to the list. Blurs, like Median, Gaussian, Motion, and Noise Color Adjustments & Effects, like Exposure, Gamma Adjust, and Sepia Tone Composition Operations, like Addition and Multiply Blends, or Hard Light Distortions, like Pinch, Circle Splash, and Vortex Generators, like Star Shine and Lenticular Halo Geometry Adjustments, such as Crop, Scale, Rotate, and Affine transformation Halftone, Tile, and Posterize filters Transitions, such as Dissolve and Ripple An open source documentation website for built-in Core Image filters is maintained at CIFilter.io.
