Is there a need to allocate FilterEffectAppliers on the heap? Currently we don't let the applier object last longer than the function we create it in.

If we do keep creating unique_ptrs for filterEffectAppliers, should this be private?

Yes this is correct. But the apply() method is virtual and we need to call it from FilterEffect::apply()

    auto applier = createApplier(filter);
    applier->apply(filter, inputFilterImages(), *m_filterImage);

I think this can't be achieved unless the applier is a pointer to the base class.

makeUnique() requires the constructor to be public. But std::make_unique() does not. But you are right FilterEffectApplier::FilterEffectApplier() should be protected at least.

Understood.
