Twitter rolls out photo filters after split with Instagram

Twitter doesn’t seem too heartbroken over its split with Instagram. In fact, the company is now offering photo filters and going steady with a new photo editing partner, Aviary.

The new photo editing features and filters were rolled out Monday afternoon.

Here’s a look at some of the new features from Twitter’s blog:

Filters. Apply one of eight filters, ranging from black & white to vintage, to add a new look and feel to your photos.

Take a bird’s-eye view. See how each filter would affect your photo in a single grid view, or swipe through looks to compare your options.

Frame the action. Crop and pinch to zoom in order to focus attention.

Auto-enhance. Make your photos pop with balanced light and colors by tapping the wand.

I haven’t been able to test this yet due to a delay in the upgrade to my phone, but I’d like to hear your thoughts about the features. Will you stop using Instagram? Why or why not?

“In June, 2011, we introduced the ability to attach a photo to your Tweet, a first step toward improving the entire photo experience on Twitter. Since then we’ve been making it easier and faster to share and discover and enjoy great photos on Twitter every day.” – Twitter blog
