Not like can be seen in compositor preview in Blender or similar programs. You either check the box or not as far as I know. I hear talk about render layers, but I do not know if this would be a way to do what you mean as the filter option is in the render control box.
If you are fast enough, you can grab a screen capture, PAUSE the render, before the filter is rendered. My unit seems to go into a sort of freeze mode when the filter starts to be applies, so you have to be quick, in my case.
