A few weeks ago, the amazing team of A Beautiful Mess launched their newest app A Color Story. It’s a photo editing app that has quickly become my absolute favorite tool for editing iPhone photos. What makes A Color Story different is that it’s meant to brighten whites and add a pop to colors without making the photo look too edited. It’s also the first app I’ve seen that lets you control curves! So fancy. I love it.
This week I decided to have a little fun with the app and share some before and after photos with you all! See the editing steps I took underneath each photo.
filter: punch 100% / tool: contrast 107%
filter: picnic 84% / tools: contrast 114% + bright 16%
filter: punch 100%
filter: snow cone 100% / tool: temp 17% / curves
filter: tulip / tool: clarity 10% / curves
Other reasons to love A Color Story: It’s free! There are add-on filter packs that you can buy, but you really don’t need them to create beautiful photos. Also, it has the cutest interface ever (of course).
We’ve always edited TBM’s Instagram photos with VSCO Cam but we’ll probably start using ACS more often!
Have you guys downloaded A Color Story yet? Any other favorite photo-editing apps?

I love using A Color Story. My favorite thing about it is the ability to save your editing steps. It makes it so much easier to create a cohesive look to your blog photos or Instagram.

Yes! Ever since I’ve started using A Color Story for my Instagram pics, I’ve noticed that my pictures are getting more likes. I love the way that it really makes colors pop. LOVE this app :)

Thanks for sharing! I bought Afterlight but haven’t found it too useful- I really really like how you show the same photo with and without the filter- been reading a few reviews of a Color Story and yours is the best so far!! :) ABM should give u a commission ;)
