Aside from some bug fixes, two new fil­ters were added in the 1.0.7 update;

And one has been retrieved from the cut­ting room floor after a bit of a pop­u­lous revolt;

I love the fil­ter upgrades, but the app upgrade did­n’t go off without a hitch.

In my case, Ins­tagram lives on my iPad, which I use for post-pro­duc­tion edit­ing and shar­ing of my pho­tos. I like to think of it as my iPad Darkroom.

And this update to Ins­tagram had me wor­ried for a moment — it would­n’t read any images from my photo roll or photo albums.

But after a full shut­down and restart, whatever data­base issues it had seemed to clear up, and I’m hap­pily play­ing in the dark­room again.

iOS devices seem to be the most pro­lif­ic when it comes to mobile digit­al dark­room apps, for now. I’m think­ing that once more developers get busy work­ing on the oth­er devices, there’s going to be a whole lot more awe­some pho­to­graphy hap­pen­ing out there… and I can­’t wait!

    Ins­tagram, Pho­to­Buck­et, FX Photo Stu­dio, Per­fect Photo, Pho­to­Pal — if any of these or any oth­er photo app becomes the 10th bil­lion down­load on the app store, the lucky user will get an extra $1000 iTunes Card. If it is FX Photo Stu­dio app — then $5000 — this is what developers say!!!
