Instagram Just Turned Into a Real Photo Editing App With This New Update

Instagram launched new editing features that give people more control over their photos, outside of crappy filters.

Instagram launched new editing features today that give people more control over their photos. No more relying on a few filters for your selfies.

With the Instagram 6.0 update, the app now lets users adjust brightness, contrast, warmth, saturation, highlights, shadows, vignette, sharpen and filter strength with their photos. The days of having to go into a third-party app for your photo editing is over: now it can all be done within the app. This update makes Instagram a full-on photo editing center, and not just a place where you have to live or die by the blade of your filter. When you go to select a filter, you'll see a new wrench icon — this will take you to the editing options. 

Instagram says more options are on the way. Enjoy, it should be rolling out by the end of the day.
