MinFilter replaces each pixel with the darkest pixel within the filter 
area. MaxFilter replaces each pixel with the brightest of the 
surrounding pixels. MedianFilter sorts the surrounding pixels by 
brightness and selects the middle value. I think ModeFilter selects the 
most common pixel if occurs more than a certain threshhold. RankFilter 
is like Median, but it selects the colour at a specific point within the 
ordered list. Not sure about BuiltInFilter, my guess is its an 
implementation detail of some kind..
