Filter “Film” applied

Film filter lets you merge several pictures into a photographic film drawing.

	Note
	This filter does not invert colors, so it does not imitate negative film like the ones used to produce prints. Instead you should think of the result as an imitation of slide film or cinema film.

You can find this filter through Filters → Combine → Film.
