Twitter improves its Instagram-style photo filters
The social network with 140 characters has launched a new enhancement for its applications mobiles. With it, Twitter wants to make things easier for users more creative or concerned aboutphotographs that they share through this social network For this, the system has improved at the time to apply the filters and achieve unique and different scenes, changing the original appearance of the photographs that are published.A small detail that is undoubtedly reminiscent of another of the great photography applications: Instagram
This new feature is now available on both Android and iPhone devices and iPad And it has been introduced in the latest update although without having been officially announced. Perhaps because it is a shameless copy of what could already be seen on Instagram, or because it doesn't turn out to be too remarkable a novelty in this social network But, in any case, apply filters is now more comfortable and customizable inTwitter We explain how to do it below.
This new function consists, specifically, in regulating the intensity of the filter that is applied to a photo before sharing it. An option that does not allow you to customize individual details such as brightness, hue, warmth, effect, etcbut that offers the possibility of improving the original images with just a touch of the filter that has been chosen, without the result being radically different, or yes, as the user wishes. This is precisely the key to the new feature. To do this, all you have to do is start compose a tweet or message and click on the image iconto attach a photo to the post.
Once the image has been selected from the terminal's gallery, all you have to do is click on the image to access the editing screen. Here, since 2012, Twitter offers a collection of filters in the purest Instagram style, allowing you to toggle between psychedelic, vintage, black and white and other alternatives. The novelty is that, when you click on a filter again, a bar appears to adjust said effect.In this way, the user can establish with what intensity he wants to see the filter reflected on the original image. A mere adjustment that helps to achieve more naturalness in the images, or to exaggerate their effect. All this to suit the consumer.
After this point, all that remains is to confirm the changes and publish the tweet or message with the photo or photos that the user wants, retouched or not, or just a little. A feature for those concerned about their images, who now have one more reason not to use Instagram or other editing tools when posting to Twitter Sure Follow without being a very complete tool when adjusting other photography parameters.
In short, an interesting novelty but one that surely will not revolutionize Twitter, even more so when it exists other applications like Instagram with the option to retouch more aspects and share through the social network of the 140 charactersIn any case, this new Twitter setting is already available in its mobile applications for Android and iOS It can be downloaded completely free through Google Play and App Store
