NEW: a Photo filter. The other filters turn a page into something that looks like it came off a flatbed, which means driving the background to white. On an ID card, a passport or anything printed on colour that is not a cleanup, it is a deletion: the tint, the portrait and every light-printed line disappear. Photo takes the room's shading off and leaves the document alone. The existing filters are also less heavy-handed now, so light print survives them too.
