Scald filter is a different approach to use Scald. It is an alternative of Scald MEE (Multimedia Editorial Elements, shipped with Scald). Check more at #2007740: Create a scald filter so that it works with things other than text fields.

Points to note when using the Scald filter:

- If the text format is cacheable, you lose Scald's access control functionality. The rendered atom is displayed to users from the cache, without regard to their permissions.
- Generally, the Scald filter should be executed last, because it generates a lot of markup and sensible HTML tags (picture, iframe, noscript, etc.). The "Convert URLs into links" filter is usually the first one to be executed, before any HTML clean up. So, in this use case, if you want to run Scald filter before "Convert URLs into links" filter, it may work for some simple provider (e.g. image with simple markup), but not all.
