I have been on Bookstagram (which is just an Instagram about books) since December of 2017 at @taylorisreading, and I have had a lot of questions about how I got my latest theme. Today, I am going to walk you all through my process!
So, first I take a picture that I like and send it to the Afterlight app to add a dust filter (dust 12). After that we get this:
[gallery ids="2684,2683,2682,2681" type="rectangular" orderby="rand"]
Then we move into the Instagram app! I do not use any other app to edit my pictures except for Afterlight to get the dust filter.
- I add the Aden filter, and on some pictures it is a little intense so I adjust as needed (usually to around 90-85)
- Go to the editor section and adjust brightness to 20-30
- Contrast to 15-20
- Structure to 30ish
- Warmth to 10-15ish
- Saturation to 5
- Color, orange, to 15-25
- Highlights to 20-25
- Shadows to -60 to -75
- And sharpen to 35-40
And then we get this:
[gallery ids="2686,2687,2688,2689" type="rectangular"]
Ta da! Then you just write a quick caption and load the bottom with hashtags and you're done.
Let me know down below if you use any specific editing apps for your pictures!
Thanks for reading!

So specific!
ReplyDeleteThank you😊
ReplyDeleteI love that filter! Any filters you recommend to get that magical fairy look quality? I am trying to figure out what kind of filter I want that really speaks to me!
ReplyDeleteI would maybe go for Lark or Gingham ad lower them a little because they're pretty intense. Juno or Lo-Fi may also be good ones! I hope you find one you like <3
ReplyDeleteThank you looking into them now!
ReplyDeleteOf course! Also, I just downloaded the apps Lightroom and Snapseed if you want to look into those. They have some great features and Snapseed has good filters.
