The visible photo editing loop is buildable, but a credible replacement needs more than the first screen. Polarr earns its keep through editor polish, assets, algorithms, so expect a weekend or multi-day build and a narrower personal scope.

Construct a state-of-the-art, visually striking web-based photo editing application inspired by Polarr. The application must focus heavily on advanced color grading, filter presets, and a premium user experience, built using React, TypeScript, and WebGL or Canvas API for high-performance image processing.

Core Features & Functionality:
1. **Filter Preset System**: A bottom or side carousel of beautiful, pre-defined color grading presets (e.g., Cinematic, Vintage, Portrait, Moody). Clicking a preset instantly applies it to the active image.
2. **Advanced Adjustments**: A detailed right-hand panel with granular slider controls for:
   - Light: Exposure, Brightness, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows.
   - Color: Temperature, Tint, Vibrance, Saturation.
   - Detail: Sharpness, Clarity, Vignette.
3. **Before/After Toggle**: A highly interactive split-screen slider or hold-to-view button to compare the edited image with the original.
4. **Custom Presets**: The ability for users to save their current adjustment stack as a custom filter preset.
5. **Export & Share**: High-quality image export with options for format and quality scaling.

Design & Aesthetics:
- Design a truly premium, immersive interface that maximizes the image viewing area. The UI should be translucent and non-intrusive, utilizing heavy glassmorphism and deep blurs.
- The color palette should be a sleek, muted dark theme to ensure accurate color perception of the edited image.
- Sliders and controls must feel incredibly fluid and responsive, with bespoke styling that deviates from default browser inputs.
- Use sophisticated micro-animations for menu expansions, tool selections, and preset loading.
- Typography must be elegant and unobtrusive, using a modern sans-serif font like Roboto or SF Pro.

Technical Requirements:
- Leverage the HTML5 Canvas API (or a WebGL wrapper library) to ensure real-time, 60fps updates when adjusting sliders.
- Implement a robust state management system to handle the complex matrix of image adjustments and support full undo/redo functionality.
- Structure the application with highly reusable, composable React components, separating the slider UI logic from the image processing engine.
- Ensure the application is fully responsive, offering a tailored layout for mobile devices that makes thumb-based editing comfortable and intuitive.
- Maintain strict TypeScript typings for all adjustment parameters and preset configurations.
