Say you snap a photo for Instagram and the colors aren't quite as impressive as you wanted — and not even filters are helping. In the past, you might have abandoned the photo, but now there's a new possible solution.
Instagram on Tuesday began rolling out a new color tool, which lets you tint the highlights or shadows in your photo with different colors. You can choose from yellow, orange, red, pink, blue, purple, cyan, or green.
In its example images, Instagram shows how you can enhance an otherwise lackluster sunset photo, making the sky look more red or giving the landscape a purpleish tint.
Besides that, Instagram is also getting a new fade tool, which lets you "bring a quiet tone to your photos by softening colors" — perfect for when you want to convey a sort of melancholy or vintage look.
Fade and color are available now on Instagram for Android (version 6.19.0) and should arrive on iOS "in a few days," Instagram said.
And that's not all. The Facebook-owned photo-sharing app is also adding a new feature called Post Notifications, which aims to help you keep track of your favorite Instagrammers. The optional setting lets you to receive notifications when specific people you follow post to Instagram, so you never miss a photo from your favorites.
To enable the notifications, navigate to a friend's profile and tap the three dots in the top right corner. From there, you'll see an option to "Turn on Post Notifications." This feature is available today on Android and iOS.
