Hey there,

Definitely noob here.


I'm doing a test / map in GIMP and I'm wondering how to add or remove filters like you would a la Photoshop Layer Effects options.


From other software I've tried, Krita does the same thing -- live preview seems to lag a bit but it's there (attachment). Krita calls it "Layer Styles".

From what I've read so far, it's an apply-or-don't situation for filters in GIMP. If someone can confirm or correct me I'd appreciate it; this puts a bit of a kink in the cucumber.
