Instagram today released a major update to its popular photo sharing app for smartphones. The latest release, Instagram 6.0 [1] , packs in several new photo editing tools including light and dark adjustments, sharpening effects, color adjustments, filter strengths, and more.
When you go to select a filter, you’ll now see a new wrench icon. Tap it and you’ll find a tray of photo editing tools ready for you to explore. You can also now adjust how much of a filter you apply to a photo by double tapping the filter icon.
The update comes just a day after Apple previewed iOS 8 which includes its own photo editing advancements in the native Photos app  similar to those found in apps like iPhoto [2] .
While Instagram is pushing forward with improvements focused on making your photos look better, the photo sharing social network is not budging on their app icon which tends to stand out among other app icons using the design language introduced last year with iOS 7. (That remains high on my wish list for Instagram right next to an official iPad version… everyone could use bigger filters!)
