Life is always picture perfect.

On Instagram that is...

Instagram has been famous since its culmination in 2010 for the ability to glam any photo with a flaw hiding, perfecting filter.  With this simple tool the world has been subject to what is known as "Instagram Envy" which is the result of everyone's lives appearing so perfect on the site.  Now Instagram has taken the perfecting a step further by adding a variety of photo editing tools.  These are designed with care and consideration to be easy to use and effective. The new tools will allow for subtle adjustments such as brightness, contrast, shadows and highlights among others, read more about the tools in the article- Instagram Goes Beyond Its Gauzy Filters.  
Now this seems like it is making a lot more work for users of Instagram...however a large amount of users have been requesting more editing options.  According to developers, Instagram is considered a type of stage for most people thus the services must put their best foot forward in order to give consumers what they want.  "In other words, if my feed makes my life look amazing, that's because it is"  -Manjoo.  People want their photos to reflect what they actually see.  Often times we see an amazing scene, snap a photo of it, and it isn't the same when we look at it.  With these photo edits it makes greatness possible.
