Instagram Introduces Five New Filters – TheAppWhisperer

In December 2012, Instagram added Mayfair and Willow to the Instagram filter family—and a lot has happened in the last two years. Inspired by the photography, art, fashion and design of the global Instagram community, the developers have released five new filters. You’ll see the filters at the front of your filter tray: Slumber, Crema, Ludwig, Aden and Perpetua. They soften and subtly shift colors to achieve the look and feel you want for your each photo.

To make it easier to choose between filters, Instagram have updated how they’re displayed. When you go to apply a filter to your photo, each filter icon on the bottom now displays a blurred preview of your photo with its effect applied. This lets you see at a glance how your photo will appear with each filter applied.

To simplyify things Instagram have added a new “Manage” button at the end of your filter tray. Tap it to re-arrange the order of your filters and hide the ones you rarely use.

To learn more about the new filters and how to rearrange your filter tray, visit the Instagram Help Center.

Instagram for iOS version 6.4.0 is available today in Apple’s App Store, and Instagram for Android version 6.12.0 is available today on Google Play.
