The Direct2D effects API is an addition to Direct2D that provides image effect processing. Direct2D effects is GPU accelerated, immediate-mode, and is integrated with Direct2D.

With Direct2D effects you can combine multiple effects into a graph that is all processed at render time. This graph can include several different categories of Built-in Effects and also enables you to implement your own effects.

For more information, see Effects Overview.
