Well, almost. Have a look here: Core Image Developer Docs.

Near the bottom there's a little piece about the 'Quartz Composer' developer application, which "allows you to combine Core Image filters with a rich set of graphical and nongraphical technologies, such as OpenGL, QuickTime, and RSS. Compositions created with Quartz Composer can be run standalone or can be incorporated into other applications. You can also save Quartz Composer compositions as screen savers"

That's just too cool for words !

That does look cool. The other program, 'Fun House' could be useful too - if it lets you export the modified image. Sort of like having access to lots of Photoshop filters for free.

Do you think Apple will release a version of iPhoto for Tiger that has all those filters on it?

Quartz Composer looks suspiciously like PixelShox Composer. Enough like it, in fact, that I think it's safe to consider the conspiracy theory behind the demise of that app confirmed: Apple must have hired this guy and put him to work rolling it into the OS.

The old app is still freely available for download. There is no real documentation for it, unfortunately, but it should provide a good idea as to what this thing will be like. It should be worth playing with, at any rate.

Those filters are going to be available system wide - the apps will have to be coded to make use of them, but it must be a given that Apple is going to update its own apps to support Core Image etc. They'd be crazy not to.
