No you don't *need* to, not for this case - not if you have separate
transforms/masks and a 'filter set' mechanism. It would reduce to what I
stated: One specialty filter followed by a transform (with an optional mask
which itself can be filtered, transformed - not masked). Though mind you,
going thru a blur just to get a reflection-like effect is really overkill,
just do a reflection with a 'fade' alpha mask.. you have some demos man.
If you really must have a serial pipeline of filters, then just do
the "filter a filter" bit and you can have that.. feel free to implement away,
unless Gustavo beats you to it. I'll hold off on the transforms and masks.
