• I’m a developer, I don’t want to open photoshop
  • Filters allow the dev to make the changes without asking a dev
  • css filters, etc save network requests
  • linear and radial gradients can now repeat
  • using a linear gradient and a small repeating image gives you a rich look with very little overhead
  • background-blend-mode allows you to specify different blends for each layer of your image
  • mixed-blend-mode works across all elements: anything below the element is blended
  • Videos work below blend modes, the changes a quick to apply without the needs for video editing software
  • When a designer exports an element from photoshop with a blend mode, they can be applied via CSS without needing to go back
  • Consider browser support, the blend modes are not universal
  • Multiple filters can be applied at one time
  • The filter opacity ensures the object is hardware accelerated, where as the CSS property is not
  • hue filters can be used to replace colours on a product and save a network request
  • It’s only a matter of time before we can say goodbye to Photoshop
