Then there are some photos that need a little extra help. I picked a filter, and then brightened and sharpened it right in Instagram. Once in that menu hit the icon that looks like two vertical bars and voila.įor this photo, I skipped Afterlight and went right from VSCO to instagram (I posted this one as a square originally so didn’t use the white bars). You can do this by hitting the bottom right button that is a black circle inside of a white square. I also use afterlight to create the white border around mine to keep them landscape or portrait. I like the control that Afterlight has on brightness, contrast, and sharpening so I do all that there. Once I am happy with the filter choice I save it and then open it in Afterlight.

When in VSCO, select a filter and that automatically puts it on full power, now tap the same filter again and there is the scale from +1 to +12, now you can play with how much of the filter you want to be on the photo. If you are scratching your head right now I can explain. In there I choose a filter, for this one I used M5 (other favorites are C3, F1, and G3) and usually I dial it back a bit from the full +12. I usually start with pulling the photo into VSCOcam. On the left is straight out of the camera, and on the right is the photo I posted. Secondly, some photos just take a little bit of editing and some I end up spending way too much time on. The only exception is when I pull an image from a blog post to announce that there is new content on the blog, which I label with either the photographer (if it isn’t by me) or a “link in profile”.
Here we go…įirst I should say… all of my instagrams are iPhone photos and edited on the iPhone. And who knows, maybe you can pick up a little nugget of a trick to apply to your own photos. I don’t have one specific recipe as every photo is different but I thought I’d put together a little tutorial with examples and give you my go to filters and apps. One of the most frequently asked questions I get is “what filter and/or photo apps do you use” for instagram.
