Most Apple iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users have used and admired the Instagram photo sharing app for all of its cool filters. Earlier today, Instagram V2.0 for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch was been released which happens to be a long awaited update of this popular photo sharing app.
On their website, Instagram call this app as the "largest revamp to the Instagram launch." Instagram v2.0 for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch comes with some very exciting new updates. First of all the camera UI has been changed. In addition, the app is now capable of supporting images with a resolution, as high as 1936 x 1936 on the iPhone 4 and as high as 1536 x 1536 on iPhone 3GS. Previously Instagram would only support pictures with a max resolution of 612 x 612. Resolutions apply to Camera Roll only.
Instagram v2.0 also comes with live filters which enable the photo effects instantaneously and allow you to see the world through the camera with the special effects of Instagram 2.0 before a snapshot has been taken. The filters are up to 200 times faster and the effects take no time to be processed, even when editing a photo after it has been captured. In addition to the live filters, four new filters namely Amaro, Hudson, Valencia and Rise, have been added as a result of their cooperation with Colerise to allow you to make your snapshots, even more beautiful. Other features added to the latest Instagram update include Instant tilt shift feature which makes, to quote Instagram, "selective blur over 100x faster than before. Pinch, pan and rotate tilt-shift to give your photos unparalleled debth of field with live preview included."
Some more minor changes have been made to the Instagram 2.0 for instance, filter borders are now allowed to be turned on and off. Furthermore, pictures can be rotated easily within the camera by simple controls to make sure you've got the right orientation every time. Although not very important, the app icon has also been modified.
