Favorite filter: Disco Ball from Good Vibes
Favorite filter: Rose from Blush
Favorite filter: Tulip from Fresh
Favorite filter: Magic Hour from Good Vibes
Favorite filter: Ginger Tea from Good Vibes
Favorite filter: Pop from Essentials
Favorite filter: Palm Springs from Good Vibes
Favorite filters: Everyday and Lipstick from Essentials
Favorite filters: Ice Ice from Essentials and Wise Guy from Boho
Favorite filter: Chroma from Chroma
And my favorite filter is Punch from Blush. It’s honestly SO tough to narrow down, though. The other night I spent a couple hours trying to narrow it down to three filters I could use on the daily (I’m still using a LOT of different filters), and I still couldn’t narrow it down below six. I ENVY those people with such a strong style that they use the same filter for every single photo!
If you guys enjoy this, I’ll do another one sometime with more people’s favorites! Now, my only question is…. do YOU have a favorite filter??
Have a great weekend!! xx- Elsie
ps. If you haven’t downloaded A Color Story yet, it’s FREE and it’s in the iTunes store now! By the way, a LOT of the favorite filters listed here are from packs that come free with the app! (And yes, Android is coming soon too!!!)

My favorite feature (though not actually a filter) is color fog! I’m probably a little too obsessed with it to be honest. I do find myself using Pop and Everyday a lot though! They are amazing filters, especially considering that those are free ones!

It all depends on the light and contrast of the picture, but my favourite ones to use are Gingham, Reyes, and Crema (all from instagram).
My favorite is On Lock by FAR, although if something has more red/pink hues in it then there are a few of them I think combine really well. I have loved the app so far!

I love the everyday filter…I’ve actually been using it to edit my Etsy photos and it has made life soooo much easier. 🙂
Gorgeous images! x

My favorite filters are Chroma and Pop! I can’t get enough of them. The A Color Story app is the only photo editing app I use now, it’s definitely the best app I’ve ever used (even my fiancé downloaded & uses it!). Thank you for making my IG feed so much prettier. 🙂
Can you please let us know how close you are to releasing the app on android??? When the ios version came out you said it would be weeks but it’s been months! 🙁
As soon as I saw the pictures I knew I had to download the app! I am very excited to spend my Saturday night with a cup of tea and brand new filters.. Look out instagram, here I come!

SO glad you like it!! We’re really happy. When we were working on it we had some ideas of how people would use color fog, but we’ve been blown away with all the creativity! BLOWN. AWAY.

WOOOO! So happy to hear this Karina!

That app looks amazing. I hope it comes out for the android soon.
Yep- our developers have been stuck fixing this same stubborn issue for two months. It’s very frustrating. Sorry! We’re HOPING it’s very close, but we don’t want to announce anything else until we have a for-sure release date.

WOHOOO!!! So happy to hear this. Have fun and let us know if you have any questions, Rowan.

This is super interesting. I actually love the Film Camera one x

I would say my most used filter is Chroma in the Chroma pack but it’s fun experimenting with them all! 🙂
I love this app, Is there a way to create the fog in Lightroom or photoshop? 🙂
PS I can’t find good vibes for ginger tea? Bought the pack but no option for it?
I just came back from Italy and Greece and purchased A Color Story today. I am having so much fun and my photos look great. Thanks!
These filters look amazing. Just downloaded the app!

I’ve really been enjoying using A Color Story, and I think the filters are fantastic. However, I’ve been hesitating to buy the paid filter packs because it’s hard for me to tell how much they would change a given photo. Would it be possible to either share a post/have a part of the app that shows how *the same* photo would look with all the different filters, or for the sample photos that showcase each filter have half of them visible in their original form? Would love to see the difference each filter makes!
That cake looks so amazing! Love this post.
I’ve fallen in love with A Color Story and I use Ice Ice from Essentials or Lite Brite!
My favorite is Punch too! But anything from the B&W pack is pretty amazing too.
Love you guys!

My favorite is Ice Ice from Essentials. I think it works especially well for brightening up the dull photos I take indoors.
This only made me more excited for the android version!

I love this!! My favorite is Everyday from Essentials or Palm Springs from Good Vibes 🙂
POP SONG! Also getting acquainted with curves has been coolio, too.
I use lite bright and ice ice from essentials a lot and pop song from good vibes! i’ve loved using these filters for my instagram photos!

Hi emma! Send us a message at http://www.acolorstory.com/support and we can help 🙂 -Jacki
So far I mostly use Summer Day, Punch and Pop. I love that you can combine the filters too. This app is a game changer!
I love Pop and Everyday from the Essentials pack!
I love Agent Cooper for bw and Crisp from Fresh!
Thankyou so much for sharing this!
I think this might be my FAVOURITE app ever – after Instagram, obviously 😉
I love Disco Ball, then Pop.
I second this, what a great suggestion/request!
Pop, Tulip for landscapes and styling. Lite Bright when there’s people in the photo.
But I have to say that I haven’t find the perfect filter for portraits yet!
Great app though!
