Instagram today unveiled two new creative tools that have been demanded by its user community: Fade and Color.
With Fade, users can add an aged film effect to photos by softening existing colors.
And with Color, users can choose from a range of eight colors and overlay elements of their pictures. Users can pick among green, blue, cyan, orange, yellow, purple, red, and pink.
