Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, the filters permanently occupy the bottom toolbar space, with all the other settings having to adjust into a pop-up menu.

Describe the solution you'd like
Shift the filters under a section of their own, thus making that portion of the toolbar space accessible to other settings like the "Brightness & Contrast" , the "Image Enhancement" settings or the OCR settings.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Microsoft Lens has the settings tucked away under a button as shown in the attached recording:

I'll be the first to admit that there's tons of UX problems with MS Lens. That constantly expanding and contracting bottom toolbar is not ideal. I actually prefer your implementation of a static toolbar that has dynamic elements. But the fact that I can switch between settings is something worth exploring...

Additional context

This is how the regular edit page looks.

Start at the regular edit page and inspect the bottom toolbar and the settings currently reached through its pop-up menu. Define a settled interaction for switching filters, Brightness & Contrast, Image Enhancement, and OCR settings, then verify that each setting remains accessible without losing the static toolbar behavior.
