Hello, I think that bringing the new CSS filters (http://html5-demos.appspot.com/s= tatic/css/filters/index.html) to canvas might be a good idea. Some of the n= ew filters, specifically blur, would definitely speed up some applications.= I saw that there was a previous discussion on this list about bringing SVG= filters to canvas, but it was a few years back and it doesn't seem like th= e discussion yielded much. It would be great if you could turn the filters on and off while drawing. S= omething like: ctx.blur(20); // turns on a 20px blur ctx.drawRect(0, 0, 50, 50); // this will be blurred ctx.blur(0); // turns off blur ctx.drawRect(100, 100, 50, 50); // this will not be blurred You could even do multiples: ctx.blur(2); ctx.sepia(1); ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0); ctx.endFilters(); // turn all filters off Another benefit of having these effects in canvas is that we could utilize = toDataURL to save out an image that a user/application has filtered.
