Use Photoroom's Filter option to simulate the effect of a camera filter. You can apply filter effects to each layer separately and there are several filter effects to choose from. Each effect alters the color, contrast, and overall look.
A common use of filters is to give a color photo a black and white background so that the color foreground really stands out.
