How do you use Instagram with PL

There's a free Hipstapack today, called Americana. Just click on the shopping cart and it'll show you a FreePack.

VERY COOL! Thank you! Do they do that often? Do you just have to check or do they post that it's up on FB or Twitter?
 
I have quite a few free pak's from them. The Nike pak, Cowboys and Aliens, one from fashion week. I just check the store periodically. They're only available for a limited time.

Amy- I have been searching for a good journaling app. right now now i'm using aNote, and I'm not 100% happy with it. I am checking out Momento now! Thanks :)
 
Scrolled through this entire thread. Added more digital kits to my wish list. But I'm still not sure what an instagram is? Is it an app on the iphone? I have an iphone. I sometimes use it to take photos but I just use my photo setting. For those doing digital can't you just take your photo and edit to a square size using photoshop? Just not getting it. Someone please explain why you would need a instagram app?
 
Yes, instagram is an app on the iphone. It makes the photo square and then allows you to apply various filters. You can share it through instagram's website too. Much of the fun is in the filter/sharing parts

You are absolutely right though - you can "fake" an instragram easily in digi.

You can just make your photos square. I don't really like the quality of my iPhone photos. Using instagram I can very quickly and easily add a filter to my photo which in my opinion adds a different mood or felling to my photo. You can also choose to blur part of your photo which gives the illusion of depth to iPhone photos which I think look very flat. I now like my iPhone photos much better. Instagram is completely free so you might like to just check it out for curiosity sake. I hope this answers your question. Have a great day!
 
Oh, all this enabling is going to get me into trouble . . . products and now different apps to buy and try . . .

I have instagram and love it! I love the different filter effects w/o having to do all that photo editing and adding a frame in photoshop. It saves me a lot of time and most of the time, I'm very happy with my photos where I wouldn't want to change anything about it.
 
I love that you can use any photo in instagram to crop & use the filters with or without the frames. It's pretty amazing to me that it's free!!

I was thinking of starting a thread in the photography pad asking people to share their favorite instagram/hipsta photos. Does anyone know if that would be allowed? I have a couple of so so photos that once instagramed I love them! I'd love to share them and see other peoples. I now haves few instagrams of my husband I love. A few months from now I'm hoping to turn my favorite instagram photos of my DH into a PL page with lots of little square photos.
 
I just started a thread over in the photography pad asking people to share their favorite or most creative instagram/hipstamatic photo they have taken. Please share what app you used and if you know which filter or effect you used. I'd love to see some of the instagrams you all are using with PL and how you are using the filters. Please hop on over to the photography pad and share! Thanks all!
