Instagram
The functioning of the Instagram application is very simple – all users need to do is click or select a picture and Instagram has a set of filters that a user can choose from and apply that filter to give the desired effect to the picture.
Users can simply transform everyday moments into works of art which they would want to share with friends and family. Along with that Instagram instantly uploads the pictures on the photo stream of Instagram which also allows users to see and follow their friends’ photos with the click of a single button.
Every day when users open up Instagram they will see new photos from their friends and creative people from around the world. The application allows users to share pictures thorough their Instagram feed or can also share it amongst other friends through numerous social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter. But the Instagram application does not makes changes to the original images and creates a copy of the image on which the changes are made.
FX Camera
Most applications today offer post processing of the pictures which sometimes leads to loss in quality and colour of the images which can never be amended no matter what you do. This application, however, puts the effects in the images right at the point they are getting clicked. Users can simply choose between ToyCam, Polandroid that adds toy camera effects to your photos. Fisheye, SymmetriCam makes your photos symmetrical and can also make their photos look like Andy Warhol’s paintings.
The benefit of this application is that it captures the image from the source and without any post processing presents it in the same format with the desired effect. When less and less number of applications and processing steps are involved in between, users can definitely expect faster workarounds and most importantly better quality of pictures as compared to the others. Also users can have a better control over the processing of the pictures and can move the camera in the right direction to get the perfect effect and image combination that they must have been thinking for so long.
Once user is satisfied with the desired effect, he/she can share it on social media websites which are integrated in the app.
