I've gotten a lot of questions over on Tumblr recently asking if I would share how I edit my instagram pictures. Since I usually don't use just one filter, or even a filter at all, it was a little difficult to answer in the question, so instead I'm blogging about it today!
Recently I've been just adjusting some of the qualities instead of using a filter! Here's how:
First I'll open up Afterlight. Then I like to start editing by adjusting the brightness. Almost always I'll make the picture waaaay brighter.
Then I like to add some contrast, which I feel like adds some depth to the photo. It looks less white-washed now.
Some other apps I like using:
VSCOcam Perfect for some pictures, but not all. I love the way the filters look because they add a professional quality, however they aren't as bright as I'd like so I usually save this app for pictures that don't end up on my instagram.
FaceTune Yes, this is the "photoshop" app, but I promise that's not why I like it! This app is great for photoshopping out some things in the background that are an eyesore or blending weird shadows! I don't use this app often but it's great to have just in case!
Papelook This app is great for collaging. I hate the typical pic stitch collages so if I have to put a few photos together I use this because it's more creative and like an actual collage because I can tilt the photos at different angles and even have them overlap if I want!

I bought FaceTune at the sale. Some things is really easy to do with it. But functional is very limited. With such potential I can also come up with all sorts of cool chips. I better pay for pc discount progs like macphun editor or install free GIMP
ReplyDeleteThis is very useful post. Thank you so much for sharing.
