ditors' note: This review was updated March, 2014, to cover new features added.

Instagram is a well known photo- and video-sharing app that will require a couple of touches to make retro-looking projects and then share these with friends as well as other Instagram members. With recent updates, the app adds video, allowing you to add filters and post to your feed much like you are doing with photos. It got an alternative way to regulate brightness and contrast within the most recent update with a fresh Lux slider. But what's really special in regards to the Instagram phenomenon is how users have used the app to generate a story about their everyday lives through stylized photos and videos.

Getting started
You start by registering with Instagram with an e-mail address, username, and password. After that you can configure Instagram to autopost to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Tumblr, Foursquare, and Posterous, or just choose to share images from within the app or via e-mail. You can turn any of these options on or off if you do not wish to share your shots with everyone.

As soon as you're connected, you can snap a photo wherever you are, move and scale the image, add an effect with a touch of your finger, and then touch Done to share with you your photographic moment aided by the world. The app comes with several free custom-designed filters that may give your image various retro effects, a grainy black-and-white look, and even adjustable tilt-shift options. There is also an auto-straightener which you can use to get your horizon right. An included slider also enables you to fine tune the result. For even more control, the most recent update adds a variable Lux slider (shown because the sun icon), where you can When you're satisfied with your shot, you can add a caption along with geotagging, then share it straight away.

A current update to Instagram adds a feature right out of Snapchat's playbook: this new Instagram Stories feature threads together a stream of your live-shot images and videos for the contacts to view—but only for each and every day, after which it this content disappears forever. Do not worry, though, the free iPhone app that shares 80 million photos and videos each day still keeps all of your favorite photo filters and effects and still lets you easily share your eyesight with the world. The app's massive user base, great discovery features, and simple-yet-powerful photo-editing tools end up in a top-notch experience. Instagram is without question a PCMag Editors' Choice for iPhone social photo apps.

Filter Adjustments
Instagram's effect filters are priced between simple B&W to retro film styles to techniques like cross processing. These day there are 40 filters in all, and you may enable and disable them and also reorder to get the ones you employ most in advance by tapping the Manage button. Surprisingly, that the most used filter is not any filter after all, and then we alternate between choosing the artistic/retro filters appealing and pretentious. People who want a really artistic look for their iPhone photos should take a look at Prisma,Free at iTunes Store which could mimic the look of a Picasso or Van Gogh.

You create adjustments to the filter's strength by tapping the filter icon a second time and moving a slider control forward and backward. To start with, the slider is placed all the way off to the right at 100 percent. Sliding it leftwards simply reverts the appearance closer to the first, unfiltered photo. To view the completely unfiltered image, you own a finger down regarding the main image preview. The second tap also provide you with usage of the filter's frame. This control method offers you many capabilities while still leaving the primary interface uncluttered.

Of course the app will not replace Lightroom for serious photographers, but the tools bring Instagram to the ranks of true photo editing software, but the Flickr iPhone app goes a step farther by offering tonal-level adjusters.

Instagram Stories
You'll first notice Stories in the row of user circles across the top of your Instagram screen. This enables you to create a stream of photos and videos for your followers that disappears through the universe after one day. To start with, a helpful message demonstrates how to begin with creating your story. It's pretty simple: you merely click the broken circle with the plus sign all the way at top left, and tap the shutter for an image or press and hold it for a video.

As with Snapchat, Instagram allows you to mark up your image with colored brushes, pens, and markers. You can also add text, that is super easy to move around the screen with a finger drag. A few things you can not do are add media from your Camera Roll, edit images, or add filters. And thereis no equivalent to Snapchat's cool geo-filters that allow you to overlay nifty graphics and text centered on your location. A down-arrow button allows you to keep your work to your camera roll, and hitting the check mark finally adds it to your story.
