Start With A Great Photo<\/h2>\n<p>While image editing apps can really enhance your iPhone photos, no amount of editing can turn a bad photo into a good one.<\/p>\n<p>If you want people to like your photos and follow you on Instagram, you should only post your very best photos.\u00a0That means they should be great\u00a0quality and eye-catching before you even begin editing them.<\/p>\n<p>So what makes a great photo worthy of sharing on Instagram?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60889 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/18027\/1120\/Instagram-Photo-Editing.jpg\" alt=\"VSCO Filters iPhone Photography 48\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>First of all, it should be <a href=\"http:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/sharp-iphone-photos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sharp and in focus<\/a>. So\u00a0make sure your photo isn&#8217;t grainy or blurred.<\/p>\n<p>While lighting\u00a0and color problems can often be fixed in post-processing, a photo that&#8217;s extremely under-exposed (far too dark) or over-exposed (far too bright) is unlikely to work.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61447 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/18032\/1120\/Instagram-Photo-Editing.jpg\" alt=\"Ordinary iPhone Photo Subjects 109\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So choose photos that have a fairly balanced exposure where you can see plenty of detail in the shadows (dark areas) and highlights (bright areas).<\/p>\n<p>The exception would be if you are sharing a <a href=\"http:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/silhouettes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">silhouette<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/shadows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shadow photo<\/a>.

Drag the slider to the right and watch how the fine detail in your photo becomes more prominent.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61582 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/18281\/1120\/Instagram-Photo-Editing.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram iPhone Photo Editing 47\" width=\"560\" height=\"493\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Be careful not to overuse this tool as it can make your photo look unnatural.<\/p>\n<h2>Warmth Tool<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Warmth<\/strong> tool is for adjusting the <a href=\"http:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/color-temperature\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">color temperature of your photo<\/a>. Dragging the slider to the left makes the colors cooler (more blue), while dragging to the right makes them warmer (more orange).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61585 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/18284\/1120\/Instagram-Photo-Editing.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram iPhone Photo Editing 50\" width=\"560\" height=\"493\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Adjusting the warmth can have a big impact on the overall mood of the photo.\u00a0Warm colors are great for sunny days, and they tend to create a feeling of happiness and energy.<\/p>\n<p>Cool colors emphasize the coldness of a scene, and can evoke\u00a0feelings of calmness, serenity, and even sadness.<\/p>\n<h2>Saturation Tool<\/h2>\n<p>Saturation refers to the vividness of the colors in your photo. Use the <strong>Saturation<\/strong> tool to make the colors more vivid or less vivid, depending on the look and feel you want to create.<\/p>\n<p>Drag the slider left to reduce color saturation, making the colors more muted. Or drag right to increase color saturation, making them more vivid.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61579 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/18289\/1120\/Instagram-Photo-Editing.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram iPhone Photo Editing 44\" width=\"560\" height=\"492\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Color Tool<\/h2>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>Color<\/strong> tool allows you to have a lot of fun with selectively adding color tints to either the shadows or highlights of your image.<\/p>\n<p>Beneath the image, select either <strong>Shadows<\/strong> or <strong>Highlights<\/strong>, depending on whether you want to add a color tint to the dark areas (shadows) or bright areas (highlights) of your photo.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61560 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/18293\/1120\/Instagram-Photo-Editing.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram iPhone Photo Editing 32\" width=\"320\" height=\"569\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the example below, I selected the <strong>Highlights<\/strong> option as I wanted to add a color tint to the bright areas of my image. Tapping on the different colored dots applied\u00a0the color to just the brighter areas in the scene, i.e. the snow and sky.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61573 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/18297\/1120\/Instagram-Photo-Editing.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram iPhone Photo Editing 38\" width=\"560\" height=\"327\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To adjust the intensity of the color, tap the colored dot again, then use the slider to reduce or increase its intensity.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61572 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/18301\/1120\/Instagram-Photo-Editing.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram iPhone Photo Editing 37\" width=\"560\" height=\"327\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Remember that less is often more with photo editing. Keep things looking natural and just add a hint of a color tint\u00a0to slightly alter the color tone of the image.<\/p>\n<h2>Fade Tool<\/h2>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>Fade<\/strong> tool is used for fading or washing out the colors in your photo. A little bit of fade can\u00a0soften your image,\u00a0creating a romantic or vintage feel.<\/p>\n<p>Drag the slider slowly to the right until you get just the right amount of fade. Usually, just a little bit of fade is all you need.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61575 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/18308\/1120\/Instagram-Photo-Editing.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram iPhone Photo Editing 40\" width=\"560\" height=\"493\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Highlights Tool<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Use the\u00a0<strong>Highlights<\/strong> tool if you want to darken or brighten just the highlights (brighter areas) in your image.<\/p>\n<p>Drag the slider left to darken the highlights, or right to\u00a0make them brighter.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61576 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/18311\/1120\/Instagram-Photo-Editing.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram iPhone Photo Editing 41\" width=\"560\" height=\"493\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Notice that the shadows (darker areas) aren&#8217;t affected by this adjustment.<\/p>\n<h2>Shadows Tool<\/h2>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>Shadows\u00a0<\/strong>tool allows you to darken or brighten just the shadows (darker areas) in your photo.<\/p>\n<p>Drag the slider left to darken the shadows, or right to\u00a0make them brighter.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61580 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/18315\/1120\/Instagram-Photo-Editing.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram iPhone Photo Editing 45\" width=\"560\" height=\"493\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Notice that the highlights (brighter areas) aren&#8217;t affected by this adjustment.<\/p>\n<h2>Vignette Tool<\/h2>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>Vignette\u00a0<\/strong>tool is for\u00a0creating a dark vignette (subtle border) around the edges of your image. Drag the slider right and notice how the edges gradually become darker.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61584 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/18321\/1120\/Instagram-Photo-Editing.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram iPhone Photo Editing 49\" width=\"560\" height=\"493\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Vignettes can be useful for drawing the viewer towards the focal point as your eye is automatically drawn to the brighter part of the scene.<\/p>\n<p>As always, keep the edit subtle to prevent\u00a0the effect from dominating your image.<\/p>\n<h2>Tilt Shift Tool<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/tilt-shift\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tilt shift<\/a>\u00a0allows you to blur a part of the image, often to simulate the kind of depth of field you could achieve with a DSLR camera. There are two tilt shift options:\u00a0<strong>Radial<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Linear.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61561 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/18324\/1120\/Instagram-Photo-Editing.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram iPhone Photo Editing 33\" width=\"320\" height=\"569\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Radial<\/strong> option\u00a0blurs everything around the edges of the image, keeping a circular shape in the center in sharp focus. You can drag the sharp\u00a0area to a different part of the scene to ensure your subject is in focus. You can also pinch-zoom to make the sharp area larger or smaller.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61578 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/18326\/1120\/Instagram-Photo-Editing.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram iPhone Photo Editing 43\" width=\"560\" height=\"493\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>Linear<\/strong> option blurs the top and bottom sections of the image, leaving the central strip in sharp focus. Again, you can drag the focus area and pinch-zoom to resize it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61577 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/18329\/1120\/Instagram-Photo-Editing.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram iPhone Photo Editing 42\" width=\"560\" height=\"492\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Sharpen Tool<\/h2>\n<p>The final editing tool in Instagram is <strong>Sharpen<\/strong>. Increasing sharpness a little bit can bring out the fine detail in your image.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61581 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/18332\/1120\/Instagram-Photo-Editing.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram iPhone Photo Editing 46\" width=\"560\" height=\"492\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Be careful not to over-sharpen your photo. Too much sharpening can degrade the quality of your image and make it appear grainy:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61603 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/18337\/1120\/Instagram-Photo-Editing.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram iPhone Photo Editing 52\" width=\"320\" height=\"569\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>8. Perform Any Final Editing Tweaks<\/h2>\n<p>You may find that after making adjustments using one tool, you then want to go back and make small adjustments to one of the other settings. For example, after adjusting highlights and shadows, you might want to go back and tweak the contrast.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;re happy with your edits, you might also go back to the filters screen and tweak the intensity of the filter you applied. In fact, you could even change your mind and choose a completely different filter.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;re happy with your edits,\u00a0you&#8217;re ready to share the\u00a0photo on your Instagram feed.\u00a0Here&#8217;s the final edit created using Instagram filters and editing tools:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61609 ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/18340\/1120\/Instagram-Photo-Editing.jpg\" alt=\"Instagram iPhone Photo Editing 55\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>9.
