I'm sure you know how to take a good photo. But when it comes to editing, there are a lot of apps out there that can make your feed stand out. If you're new to the app, I'll give you a quick rundown of what the app is and how to use it.
I edit my Instagram photos with a free app called Snapseed (Lightroom related App). It offers a variety of editing tools like filters, adjustments, and effects. I like the warmth of the filters and the detailed levels of the adjustments. I use Snapseed because it edits in a non-destructive way. This means that the changes don't alter the original photo, they create a new photo, which is then saved on my phone.
What is snapseed?
Before we talk about how to edit, let's take a moment to get acquainted with the free app. It's a free app for iOS and Android. If you want to know how to edit photos with Instagram, you have to take some photos. Few real-life scenarios require you to edit photos for Instagram. You can't just hop into a photo and start editing. However, you can do a lot of photo editing.
Snapseed is a good example of photo editing apps. What are you editing photos for? Maybe you're adding an image to your professional portfolio. If so, you need good photos. Maybe you're trying to get into a certain Instagram group or most amazing pictures for your crush to check out. If so, you need good photos. You could do a couple of these things alone, but if you have a lot of Instagram followers, you should also think about the posts you're putting on your feed.
Like many apps, Snapseed's editing tools are easy to learn and you can do a lot with them to make your photo look amazing and stand out on Instagram.
For example in the image below you can see the picture was just looking like every other Instagram photo, but with the glowing effect added to it, it looks amazing and get a lot of reaction from people.
Once you've edited the photo, it's saved to the original photo. To view your edits, you just long-press the image on your android or iPhone to see the before and after of the editing. To share the edited photo, you just choose the share icon and click on the photo you want to share.
When taking a picture you'll want to try to get as close to the edge as possible, if you can. You also want to try to get the best lighting possible. The tripod is super easy to use. Just take it and get into position. Next, get the camera on the tripod whether an actual camera or your mobile device and adjust the settings. If you have a smartphone, this can be done in a different app. Next, set the time to the proper amount of time (whatever your phone can handle) and turn it on. From there, you'll see a screen that shows you the time, a magnifying glass, and other helpful information. Now that you've got the best possible angle, the only thing left to do is take the photo. The picture will be black if the camera is in "Auto.
FOR SELFIES
Shoot a quick selfie When taking a selfie, you must make sure your eyes are open and looking at the phone. That way you're not contorting your face or putting your thumb over your mouth in an attempt to keep your eyes open. You can't always rely on your friends to take a good photo of you, so it's important to take control of your own. To get the perfect selfie, you need to take one that shows off your best facial feature. So use a filter to amplify your most flattering features and adjust the lighting in the photo. If you take selfies often, I recommend downloading apps like "FaceTune" that can offer a variety of photo retouching features.
