I love taking photos and scrolling through Instagram feeds so today I am going to show you how I edit my photos for Instagram. It's a fairly quick process for me because I edit most of my photos the same to keep my feed cohesive and matching.
The main app I use is VSCO Cam but sometimes I also use Squaready (blurred background), Layout (collages), and Afterlight (texture). In VSCO Cam I downloaded the package with all the filters, which I highly recommend because it gives you so many options to choose from. My top two filters that I use are A5 and S3 because they work with about any photo (with the help of extra lighting, temperature, etc).
After I apply my chosen filter and how much of the filter I want in the photo, I move into the detailed editing. The main extras that I fix are: lighting, temperature, saturation, shadows, highlights, and highlight tint. I usually increase all of them except I decrease temperature to add more of a blueish tone and depending on the lighting of the photo will either brighten or darken it.
Below is an example of how I would edit a basic photo...
