afterlite // this is my absolute favorite. You can edit every aspect of the photo + I'm really a sucker for those frames. makes the whole picture fit in the square Instagram mold..
a beautiful mess // I love love this app because it lets me doodle on pictures, add funny shapes + also automatically makes them fit the Instagram size! [it's ABM in the App store... also their Party Party app is too fun...]
VSCO cam // can I even claim to be a blogger or amateur photographer if I don't use VSCO? I do love that it lets me work my phone camera like the manual settings on my DSLR though. It's pretty groovy.
PS express // dude. this is the best for when you take those low light pictures, because how bad is the iPhone at low light pictures? that's mostly what I use this for, fixing the lighting. it also works great when you want to add saturation to the picture but not turn everyone orange.
I figured the best way to demonstrate these would be to use the most flattering picture of myself I could find. So obviously I picked this one.. What apps do you rely on for Instagram?
You would use that picture. I love Snapseed! It's super easy to use and great for enancing a photo just a liiiiittttle more. It also has a spot option that allows you to change the brightness/saturation/contrast of just certain areas of the photo as you need to.
ReplyDeleteI can never EVER get snapseed to work. I'm tempted to post this on Instagram, but I've never done a "today, on the blog" post before..........
ReplyDeletehahahha I thought about when I would be able to bring myself to do that and I was like "ehhh maybe never."
ReplyDeleteright? I mean it's not like you can put a link in the picture caption anyways [which is super weird, Insta people.]
ReplyDeleteclearly I'm missing out because I didn't know about any of these apps. but maybe because I have a droid? :/ haha great photo of you though. is that a mimosa I spy?
ReplyDeleteI think they're all available on droids too! It definitely is a mimosa AND my lucky dress, I took that picture before the Mizzou game! haha
ReplyDeleteNice! I recognized the dress so I figured it was before a game ;) I'm a great detective. Lol.
ReplyDeletehonestly. ESPN needs to pick up the story about my lucky dress!
ReplyDeleteThat mimosa just makes the picture! Where can I get THAT filter!? ;)
ReplyDeletemimosas are the best because they make it socially acceptable to be drinking before the "PM" hours. I also think that since there's a splash of orange juice, it's okay to get super cheap champagne with a twist off top!
ReplyDeleteThe picture is hysterical, I love it! I love ABM's app, it's probably my go to photo app!
ReplyDeleteisn't it though? I'm adorable.. ABM is SO much fun with all the doodles!
ReplyDeleteI just downloaded Vsco Cam because you guilt tripped me into it... lol I really don't out that much effort into mt instagram posts but maybe I should! Also, I'm finally following you there
ReplyDeleteyeahhh! lucky number 400!! I'm ridiculous when it comes to my instagram pictures, I always want them to be perfect. I usually end up taking like 40 of the same picture before deciding which one to use...
ReplyDeleteI really need to download more apps, I just use instagram. (haha, no wonder my pics suck!)
ReplyDelete(catching up on previous posts)
oh I'm sure your pictures don't suck! I'm just like, OCD about filters and the likes!
ReplyDeletethe only ones that suck are the ones that I sometimes use for TBT since those were taken with a crappy camera
