Would it be possible to implement CSS filters?

I just had a thought, and I'm curious how difficult this would be to implement as an addin (especially since I don't know C#). I have a CSS library called "Iguana", that allows you to quickly apply Instagram style filters to images. I was wondering if it would be possible to implement similar filters in Pinta, even possibly pulling the list of filters from a CSS file (like the very same Iguana).

The idea is that you'd be able to open a dialog, choose the filter you want to apply, and see a preview in the dialog. When you're satisfied, just apply and voila - Instagram style image ready to go.

It looks like those are mostly combinations of things that exist already in Pinta, like brightness/contrast, hue/saturation, sepia, etc? So I think it would be fairly easy to have an add-in effect which has presets for running those adjustments together with the appropriate values

Yep, most CSS filters would correspond to existing features in Pinta, even blur which would be a simple Guassian blur.

Loading from CSS files seems a bit too technical for Pinta perhaps, but having an adjustment / effect which has a bunch of preset filters seems like a great add-in idea
