Visual filters allow us to manipulate the display of visible objects, with any of several predefined filter effects. This section describes the specific filter effects currently supported in Internet Explorer^® 4.0 and later.

Alpha	Sets the level of opacity for a visual object.
Blur	Creates the impression that the object is moving at a high speed.
Chroma	Renders a color transparent for the selected visual object.
Drop Shadow	Creates the illusion that the visual object is floating.
Flip Horizontal	Creates a mirror image of the visual object, horizontally.
Flip Vertical	Creates a mirror image of the visual object, vertically.
Glow	Gives the object the appearance of a glow.
Grayscale	Renders the object in grayscale.
Invert	Reverses the hue, saturation, and brightness values of the visual object.
Light	Simulates the projection of a light source onto the object.
Mask	Makes a transparent mask of the visual object.
Shadow	Creates the illusion of a shadow around the visual object.
Wave	Creates a wave-like distortion of the object along its vertical axis.
XRay	Makes the visual display look like a black and white x-ray.
