Most photographic filters have a specific application and purpose (such as a Polarizing filter that reduces the brightness and high light of the image) and some have only an artistic aspect (such as color filters).

If your goal is to add color filters, you should know that Photoshop has a lot of filters for this that you can easily use in the photo editing step. Of course, some color filters can also have a practical aspect and slightly correct the image.

Advice

Try never to change the pixel of the photo. If you open the filter directly on the photo, the pixel of the photo will change automatically, so it is better to use Smart Filters. The filter applied to the Smart Object layer is called the Smart Filter. So before you start editing the photo, turn the desired layer into a Smart Object.

Note: You may not be able to convert all filters to smart filters because of your Photoshop version.
