The :py:mod:`ImageFilter` module contains definitions for a pre-defined set of
filters, which can be be used with the :py:meth:`Image.filter()
<PIL.Image.Image.filter>` method.

Example: Filter an image
------------------------

.. code-block:: python

    from PIL import ImageFilter

    im1 = im.filter(ImageFilter.BLUR)

    im2 = im.filter(ImageFilter.MinFilter(3))
    im3 = im.filter(ImageFilter.MinFilter)  # same as MinFilter(3)
