Modifying shapes with filters and effects
Illustrator provides a variety of filters and effects for changing an object's shape and path direction. Using these commands as filters alters the original object's shape, whereas applying them as effects just changes the appearance of the object without altering the underlying structure of the object. For more information, see Using effects.

Note: All of the following filters work with vector graphics only; you cannot use these filters with raster images.
