How to use the function straighten Instagram photos
Earlier this month of August Instagram released a major update for the iOS platform, that is, for iPhone It included one of the requests most requested by users: to be able to publish and edit already recorded videos But another important photo editing tool was also introduced. The one known as Straighten or Straighten With it it is possible to retouch crooked photos so that the result is as professional as possible.At the moment it is only available for the smartphone of Apple, but hopefully soon Also get to Android Here's how to get the most out of it.
Using the function Straighten is really simple, although it has two versions that should be mastered if you want to take advantage and use it correctly. Thus, when using the Instagram application for photos, just press the new icon of this function so that the process is carried out completely automatic With this, it is possible to see how the image is flippeduntil it is completely straightened, respecting the horizontal lines and inclinations to achieve the desired result.
And it is that Instagram takes advantage of the terminal sensors to know the conditions in which the photo was taken. These sensors, such as the gyroscope or the accelerometer, allow you to record some references for inclination and turning of the terminal, being able to readjust them automatically in the editing part of the photograph about the correct values. Undoubtedly the best option to make sure that the lines of the horizon or of the composition that make up the image do not create strange and unbalanced effects, but are perfectly horizontal.
The other method of adjustment or straightening occurs when the user decides to use a photo already stored in the gallery or reel of the terminal . In this case it is possible that the sensors did not collect all the necessary information to readjust the image with respect to the correct values, so after pressing the icon a convenient tool appears.to flip the image to the point that the user wants, having to trust their own criteria to achieve the best result, or simply the desired inclination.
The good thing is that this straightening tool or wheel has several tricks or extra movements for users more concerned with the inclination of their photos. Thus, in addition to being able to slide it with your finger, it is also possible to perform touches on the ends of it to increase or decrease 0.1 degrees each time. A good way to get a finer fit. In addition, if preferred, it is also possible to use the classic gesture to rotate using two fingers on the screen, allowing the user to specify the final degree at his taste.
Finally, keep in mind that this function requires an enlargement or zoom of the image. And, when rotate the square format of the photos appear corners and sides blank out of frame, being the rotation of 45 degrees the one that shows the most portions of this type and, therefore, needs a larger zoomHowever, the Instagram team understands that automatic is useful for images that you want to portray in a perfect horizontal position, so it only corrects deviations of up to 25 degrees, thus avoiding having to cut the frame to a large extent and understanding that a greater inclination has to do with the artistic criteria of the user
