Smart Filter (Adobe Photoshop)
In 2007, Adobe Photoshop CS3 introduced the previous filters for use on Smart Objects . Smart filters have the advantage that, unlike normal filters, they do not change the original data and they can be modified at any time or even completely undone. Some setting commands have also been made accessible with Smart Filter.
The Smart Filters applied to the user can be seen in the layer palette, where they are accessible for editing, similar to the Photoshop effects. In contrast to normal filters, Smart Filters can also be undone after closing and reopening a file or all settings that affect these filters can be edited. With normal filters, on the other hand, the original pixels are permanently changed.
In addition, you can quickly apply all filters to other image data by exchanging the contents of a Smart Object on which the Smart Filters were applied. The filters are immediately saved to the new image data with all filter settings.
Filter settings that can be changed afterwards are, on the one hand, the parameters that are called up in the dialog box when the filters are used, but also all the settings that were previously available in earlier versions of Photoshop with the Fade command.
Implementation in other image processing programs
The free image processing program Krita supports an equivalent concept, which today is called filter levels and filter masks , since at least 2006.
