Instagram Editing Apps

With Instagram moving toward a more Facebook-like algorithm, creating photos that stand out have become more important. Although there are built in filters within the app, there are other outside of Instagram apps that Instagrammers recommend:

Instagram as a social media platform has gained a lot of traction in the area of wanting to create your own entertainment. With creating your own platform, you want to customize a photo in ways that allow the viewer to understand what style you embrace. Along with conveying your style and flair, as an entrepreneur on Instagram or even just an individual with an account, wants the likes and appreciates the likes. But in order for likes to come in, you want photos that look good in the eyes of the audience. Although the photo may be a great photo, you want to enhance its potential through the use of filters and other effects like brightening or saturating. 

1. SELFIES

FACETUNE

Many Instagrammers use this for light retouching. The app features options from smoothing the skin and whitening the teeth, to eliminating blemishes. There are also options to distorting a portion of the picture to the editors liking

2.  LOOPED VIDEOS
BOOMERANG

Boomerang is another app but also a feature that Instagram has added to its interface. You are able to create a short video that loops over and over for around 5 seconds. Different from a montage, it is a literal 1.5 second video looped for 5 seconds. Many take use of this feature when they dont want to post a full video as well. 

3. FILTERS

VSCO

this application features a lot of customizable options. It allows the individual to lay a filter on top of pictures as well as change smaller aspects of a photo such as the brightness, sharpness, and temperature of a photo. Its a simple way to retouch a photo without the use of exporting the file to photoshop. All at the convenience of your portable device.

4. LAYOUTS
PICSTITCH

While dropping a million photos may be your way of showing your followers how much you love the event or the photos you posted, but when there are too many photos to post from a single event and you dont want to bother your followers of mess up your feed with a million of the same-but-not photo, layouts are useful. You can take your photos and arrange them in the many layouts that picstitch provides.
