Sharing photographs has been made convenient and popular by Instagram with its different filters. This has seen Twitter introduce its own filters to put up a fight, Snapchat with its dual-filter with colour filters and its geo-filter titles and now Facebook, though it is less impressive compared to Instagram and Twitter, is making a gesture at photo editing and it should as people share photos on Facebook.

It might be less impressive but it is quite a step up from its one-size-fits-all light enhancement which took all power from the user.
