We are super, super excited to announce this new filter +pack and collaboration for A Color Story! A while back, we reached out to the creator of the #CandyMinimal photo movement and avid A Color Story user, Matt Crump, to gauge his interest on designing a filter pack focused on his beautiful photo style.
He was all for it!! 🙂 We got right to work, and after months of working with Matt to get it just right, we now have a new pack of 13 filters available in A Color Story called Candy Minimal.
For any of you that may be unfamiliar with #CandyMinimal, it’s a photo style that focuses on bright pastels and neons—photos that have at times completely transformed the colors into a candy-colored daydream. As the name would suggest, the compositions are often minimal, letting the bright colors tell the story.
So we set out with Matt to make a pack of filters that gives you quick access to his editing styles to make it more fun to participate in #CandyMinimal.
These filters are best on things like skies, beaches, palm trees, neon signs, buildings, fun colors or minimal compositions. But make no mistake: These filters are intense, and they strongly manipulate color! So they probably shouldn’t be your first choice for a quick self portrait or group photo.
Anyway, we hope you have as much fun with this pack on your photos as we do. Hop over to the app and purchase the pack now! Also, be sure to follow our friend @mattcrump as well as his @candyminimal account where he features his favorite photos from #CandyMinimal.

I hope someone sees this and answers: I bought the app and I think I would really like it, but it LITERALLY crashes, EVERY time I use, every.single.time. Why?! I bought the entire set of options and I feel like a sucker 🙁
The filters are so vibrant! Will definitely try them on a few photos

I love A Color Story, it’s so simple to use but looks blooming beautiful! This looks great and would look great for prints!

Ooh! Love this – did not know about #candyminimal – looking forward to playing with these filters and tag!
I am so bad using your app. I see other people results and are bright and shiny and really cool; then, I try with my own pics and I end up doing an overexposed picture from which I am not even a little proud of it. I should keep on triyng!
XOXO. Sara
Is candy minimal included in the 8.99 all current packs?
Hi Audrey! It’s a +pack for 1.99 🙂 -Jacki
I absolutely love your app, it has opened up a new world for me! I would love it even more if there was a way of saving a before and after once you’ve finished editing. At the moment I use a second app with a collage function to have a side by side view of both pictures but it would be much better and quicker to do it within your app at the time. Could this be a possibility? It’s still the best photo editing app out there though, I can’t wait for new packs 🙂
Such a great filter +pack and great article! Thank you for it! I use it now every day!
