Instagram introduces five new filters

A new significant update for Instagram brings five new filters that are said to be inspired by its community. Called Slumber, Crema, Ludwig, Aden, and Perpetua, the new filters are supposed to complement the capabilities on today’s smartphone cameras. The filters are said to “soften and subtly shift colors to achieve the look and feel you want for your each photo.”

There is also a new way to find your favorite filters now. The filter tray now shows blurred previews of your images on them to make it easier to decide which ones to use. You can even rearrange the order of filters by selecting the Manage button so you can put your favorites first and hide those you don’t use. The update is coming to both iOS and Android apps.
