Description
Description
While adding a filter property example in Reanimated example app, we noticed that the filter property doesn't exist in the ImageStyle type, whilst this property is most commonly used with image components. The filter prop is specified only in the ViewStyle type.
The same issue applies to other properties like: boxShadow (which works for Image and Text components but is specified only for the View component), mixBlendMode specified in the ViewStyle but working with the Image component, borderTopStartRadius, outlineColor and likely more other properties which are listed only under the ViewStyle type.
Steps to reproduce
Just create the Image (or Text) component and pass one of mentioned properties in the style object to see the TypeScript error.

Research direction
Start by locating the ImageStyle and TextStyle type definitions and compare them with ViewStyle, focusing on filter, boxShadow, mixBlendMode, borderTopStartRadius, and outlineColor. Use the mandatory Snack reproducer to verify the TypeScript errors; done means supported properties no longer produce errors for Image and Text styles.
