Challenge: TiltShiftOperations in OperationQueue

The playground in the starter folder has an array of input images, an empty filteredImage array to hold the tilt-shifted output images and the TiltShiftOperation subclass from video 15. Use this operation in an OperationQueue to filter all the input images.

let appendQueue = OperationQueue()
appendQueue.maxConcurrentOperationCount = 1
let filterQueue = OperationQueue()
let filterOp = TiltShiftOperation(image: image)
filterQueue.addOperation(filterOp)
filterOp.completionBlock = {

}
guard let output = filterOp.outputImage else { return }
appendQueue.addOperation {
  filteredImages.append(output)
}
filterQueue.waitUntilAllOperationsAreFinished()
filteredImages
// In case the playground won't display the array of images:
filteredImages[0]
filteredImages[1]
filteredImages[2]
filteredImages[3]
filteredImages[4]
[w 1,024 h 768, w 1,024 h 1,176, w 1,024 h 768, w 1,024 h 768, w 1,024 h 768]
