Popular effect in instagram. Effects on Instagram. Parse all filters

If you are running Windows and would like to be able to process photos in the style of Instagram (Instagram) on your computer, then you will encounter difficulty. But there are no programs. There is an Aperture that has many styles (free and paid) that allow you to give a certain effect to the image in one click, but it is not for Windows. You can install Photoshop, and by remarkable efforts turn it into an “Instagram for computer”, but then you will have to study the work in this monster, which is also not at all free. A knowledgeable reader will note that picasa and capture one have similar image styles to Instagram. Have you seen the results of their work? And not for free. These difficulties for owners of Windows computers have led some serious photographers to upload their photos to a mobile phone and there they are already doing Instagram-style processing. As my mom says: "quiet horror." Or maybe they, these instagrams? If this thought has visited you, then you have embarked on the path of a retrograd, an opponent of progress and a fashion photographer, you no longer have to become. This photography lesson will take you back to the path of truth.

After several attempts to find an acceptable way of processing in the style of Instagram, search engines led me to the only solution that is available to owners of computers running Windows: use the free service http://pixlr.com, which gives you the opportunity to get Instagram effects online. True, the online editor imposes some restrictions on the photo editing process: you need a reliable Internet and browser, you also cannot save the intermediate processing option and continue working in the next session, that is, it is desirable to do all the work in one go.

  Once on the main page Pixlr.com ( photo 1) we are informed that we can process the photos:
• By installing the program in a mobile phone (we do not need it).
• Opening the advanced photo editor (Open Pixlr editor Advanced). We need it, but not now.
• Using the express photo editor (Open Pixlr express Efficient). We need him.
• Edit effortlessly in Open Pixlr-o-matic Playful. This is all for the child level.

Click on "Open Pixlr express Efficient" and proceed to turning the photo into Instagram on your computer.

First you need to upload a photo to the editor ( photo 2). To do this, we can open a file from a computer (Browse), download it from the Internet (Open URL) or take a snapshot of a webcam (Webcam). Link Collage leads us to the tool for creating collages (about them later). Mobile will allow you to download a free program for a mobile phone, in which you can also do Instagram-style photo processing. Since we want to run Instagram on a computer, I suppose the picture is already on your hard drive. Therefore, click on Browse and select the file to process. The editor took a large JPG photo (21 megapixels with a Canon 5D), which was nice. After loading the image, a panel appears with buttons for selecting the type of processing ( photo 3): Adjustment, Effects, Overlay, Borders, Stiker, and Text. Since there are more than six hundred effects behind these six buttons, I will only talk about those that will give your photos the most fashionable (from my point of view) Instagram style.

We start by searching for suitable color effects (the Effect section), since this is the most important decision when searching for styles for a future Instagram. I recommend paying special attention to the collection of the main default color effects ( photo 3, item 1). Look for that color solution, or their combination that you like. I checked all the styles, and collected the most interesting ones for me in the photo below. If you have decided on the color style of the future Instagram-we, then click Apply, and continue to process the photo.

Insagram color styles that I liked. The name of the style you will find under the big photo.

  Some tips:
• To memorize your favorite processing styles and quickly find them later, click on the “heart” ( photo 4, item 1). These styles will be marked and placed in a separate folder of your favorite styles (Favorites) ( photo 3, item 2). If you have disliked the style of the photo, then once again click on the bottom heart.
• If, after selecting a style, the band with the style preview disappears, you can call it by clicking on the image of the last style you selected ( photo 4, item 2). Then "pin" sample styles with the button ( photo 4, p.3).
• If the applied style is too strong, you can weaken its effect with the Amount slider ( photo 4, item 4).
• You can summarize the imposition of multiple styles. To do this, after choosing a style, click Apply and continue choosing the next style ( photo 4, item 5).
• If you want to cancel one or more actions, or even return to the state of the photo before processing, then use the Undo button (cancel) located in the upper right-hand corner of the page. Redo will return you backwards.

Blur photo.  In the next stage of processing photos in the style of Instagram, we will use the Focal Blur tool (blur focus) ( photo 5). To find it, choose Adjusment\u003e Focal blur. The inner circle indicates the area in which no blur will occur. Outside the outer circumference, the blur will be maximized, and its strength depends on the value of the blurring (blur, photo 5, item 1). Between the circles, respectively, there will be a zone of smooth increase of blur. All zones are edited by moving a center point or a point on a circle. Please note that you can blur the image not only around the circumference, but also in a straight line ( photo 5, item 2). This blur is good when you need to simulate a blur shooting with a small depth of field.

An interesting effect that simulates the blur of a soft focus lens can be obtained if you increase the value of Glow boost (increase the glow, photo 5, item 3). For the final image, I applied it. At the end of the blur. You can compare how much more difficult and longer blur is done in Photoshop.

Texture, vignette and frame.  Next, I want to put some texture that will mimic the surface of an old photo. To do this, go to the Overlay\u003e Dafault collection and I chose Worn with an Amount weakening to 40. The vignette is overlaid in Overlay\u003e Vignette, and the frame in the Border section. Note that some effects, such as overlays and frames, can be rotated or mirrored ( photo 6). For greater beauty, I added a postmark (Stiker\u003e Vintage), and finished processing my first Instagramm by clicking Save ( photo 9).

Instagram collage.  If you have several photos united by one theme, or several options for processing in the style of Instagram, you can make a collage. After saving the last photo, exit the editor (Close) and go to the Collage section. Select a template (Layout) that is suitable for you ( photo 7, item 1), and fill it with previously created Instagram. If you haven’t done photo processing yet, you can do it from the collage creation mode. To do this, click on the brush icon ( photo 7, item 2), and when you finish working on styling a photo, click on Save. The processed photo will automatically return to your collage. The result of a collage of three Instagram on photo 8.

From an ordinary photo, you can get a fashionable Instagram-style image easily, quickly, for free, on a computer under Windows and without Photoshop. Of course, all these manipulations can be done in Photoshop, even with the best quality. But the main beauty of Instagram processing is the simplicity of getting beautiful and complex effects. It took me 2–3 minutes to give an ordinary Instagram style photo. The range of possibilities of this online editor is much wider than I showed you, but even this is enough to get an impressive result of photo processing.

PS: if in this lesson you make a successful processing of photos in the style of Instagram, then please us with your success through the form below.

PPS: beautiful girl Lara asked a question: how to make an inscription on the photo?  I answer. Press the Text button, then select the text style, for example, Dotted (dots), then enter the text itself in the “Type your text here ..” field, then we can choose another font style (in the Font menu) ... and then bang! Does not work! The problem is that most of the fonts used in the online editor do not support the Cyrillic alphabet, and instead of the entered text in the photo, you will see an empty editing field. If you write the text in Latin, then this problem, of course, will not arise. What to do? Find the font that supports Cyrillic. For example, in the style of a sans serif font, the font “Hattori Hanzo” will allow you to write text in Russian. Of course, there are other fonts that understand Cyrillic, however, the more beautiful the font you see, the less likely it will work. Alas.

Terabytes of photos of the most diverse content pass through it: from pictures of legs and food of users to professional photos of nature.

Each filter is distinguished by its touch of color and options for its use. Any photo can be made unique by adding more light, distributing shadows, or simply correcting a bad photo.

Commonly used filters

This is not a filter at all. Showing natural colors of your photo. If you have tried popular instagram filters, but no effect came to taste, then Normal is exactly what you were looking for.
