PHOTO EDITING

FILTERS

VSCO

• Cost | Free, in app purchases ($2-$7), premium subscription
• Use | Filtering & editing
• Status | Popular
• Alternatives | N/A

• Pros | Detailed editing, photo sharing, multiple photo editing
• Cons | Limited filters

I use this for every single photo I post on my personal. They came out with a new feature called Recipes, which allow you to mass edit photos so making themes isn't so tedious. You can only have one at a time without a yearly subscription, but one is enough for most people. The editing options also come with a 12 point intensity which allows you to adjust your filters the way you want. This is such a good app for Instagramers with aesthetic accounts.

Afterlight

• Cost | 99¢
• Use | Filtering, basic editing, dust & light
• Status | Average
• Alternatives | VSCO, Superimpose

• Pros | No in app purchases, light & dust overlays
• Cons | Paid

I love the distortion and dust filters in this app for both my personal and fan account edits. It's nothing special, but it does come with unique filters and Facebook unlockables. It's worth a shot if you like that vintage feel.

Magic Hour

• Cost | Free for Lite version, $1.99 for ultimate
• Use | Filters photos
• Status | Popular
• Alternatives | N/A

• Pros | User friendly, saves in HQ
• Cons | Only three cropping sizes, can't save your own filters without purchase

Love using this for fan edits! It's simple, fast, & easy to use. the filters get repetitive sometimes, but that's alright because most differentiate slightly & each has an unique name. I haven't been able to get such bright/dark photos on other filter apps so this is very goof for K-pop editors.
