Instagram adds two new tools to play with color

The photography social network Instagram has just launched two new toolsFor your application. And it had been four months since it had presented any novelties in the creative field since added five new filters to change the appearance of the images that users can share . Now, increase the possibilities of develop creativity and play with the appearance of photographs taking into account the color Something that regular users of this application will like a lot.

These are two new photo editing tools that have arrived in version 6.19.0 for the Android platform and 6.10.0 for iOS Specifically, it is Color and Dim, which are thus added to the rest of the list as Adjustdue, Highlights, Shadows, Contrast, Sharpness, etc., in the tools tab once you have selected the photo you want to edit to publish. Two options that play with the tone and intensity of the colors.

Firstly, Color allows you to add a layer of hue to the image. In other words, change its appearance thanks to the colors yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, blue, cyan or green, which are applied over the entire surface to Give a new atmosphere to the scene, either with the warmest tones or with the coldest ones, but with a good range of intermediate tones.Something that seems to look especially good in landscapes and shots with shadows Simply click on this option to display the selection of colors , being able to click on any of them to see a preview of the image on the screen before accepting the changes.

Second is Dim This option, for its part, seems to be diametrically different from Color And its mission is to lighten and soften the tones of the image Of course, far from losing color selectively, like they do many other applications. In his case, he applies a layer that lightens and attenuates the color, making the image appear washed out An effect that can be used to play with strong tones, or to give a wear effect to the image. Just click on this option and slide the bar to apply the effect more or less intensely.

With this, Instagram expands its editing tools, enabling users to give a look completely different from its images, beyond its classic selection of filters. And it is that, for months, being able to use filters and tools independently allows users to multiply the original options that this social network offered in its origins. All this with bars to customize their effects, applying one or the other interchangeably, and even combining them.

In short, two new tools that users of the social network will like, although they still seem like little compared to the possibilities that other photo editing applications already offer even free The new versions of Instagram have already been released, albeit progressively , so it will still take several days to arrive through Google Play and App Store Of course, it is still completely free
