There are a several photography apps that convert your photos into real works of art. Instagram is one of them. It combines artistic photo filters with social networking sharing features so you can create beautiful pics and share them with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Tumblr, Flickr and of course the Instagram social network.

Using Instagram

When you log into the app, Instagram displays an array of photos from worldwide users. You can browse over pictures and watch their work. You’ll have to sign up for a free account to get Instagram "friends". After this, you can import your phone contacts or Facebook, and Twitter friends.

To start making art, just take a picture with your iPhone or Android camera or choose one from the Gallery. You can scale, pan or crop the image before applying filters, then, choose among 19 filters to beautify your pics. It's really funny to play around with the filters, and to make your boring photos look pretty cool. The filters are good although Instagram doesn’t have common editing features like brightness, contrast, saturation, warm, etc, found on other mobile photography apps.
Instagram has a toolbar where you can show/hide the frame on the edited picture, apply a high quality tilt-shift effect, enhance the image, and rotate your photo.

Once you're done editing your photo, you can share it on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Tumblr,
Foursquare and others. You can also email pics and add them to your photo map. Your picture is then uploaded to your profile, where people from everywhere can comment on it or ‘like’ it. The Instagram timeline also includes photos from friends you are following, Instagram gathers both photography and social networking features.
