One of the largest social media networks, Instagram is the most convenient way to share photographs. Keeping the ‘it’s all about living in the moment’ monolog aside, the number of likes does matter at the end of the day.
People use various techniques to edit their photo in a way that looks appealing and fetches more likes. The most basic of editing techniques is to add filters. Filters play an important role in getting more likes on your picture. However, we are often left perplexed on how to use various filters to get the effective results and end up spoiling our picture.
