Hi everyone! I’m excited to chat with you about my ACS filter pack, Pop! My husband and I shoot in front of a wide range of colorful backdrops and lighting scenarios so editing with one particular filter or preset usually doesn’t work for me. I designed the Pop pack so that each of the fifteen filters would enhance photos from a particular color setting, give your images a bold, clean punch of color, and tie them together as a whole by emphasizing brightness and vibrancy. Pop was curated to celebrate color and it’s best for bright photos, fashion photography, and colorful backdrops.

Here’s an example of a photo edited with each of the 15 filters at 100% opacity so you can see the full effect. I recommend using the opacity slider for each filter edit and typically apply between 20-80% depending on the photo, less if I’m layering filters. I intentionally named each filter so you know what they achieve without having to remember everything below. Here we go…!

BEFORE

VIVID

An anchor filter for Pop and a great base filter for layering. Adds contrast and saturation while brightening, creating a bold, clean look. Vivid is great for all colors and settings.

PURE

Brightens and cleans with an emphasis on balanced, crisp, stark whites. Great for bold graphics and minimal compositions that feature white backgrounds.

WANDERLUST

Like a cool island breeze swept over your images, this filter accentuates turquoise and aqua blues without adding a blue tint. Great for murals with blues tones and beach photos.

GEM

Add richness and vibrancy to images with jewel tone palettes, brings out true blacks.

HIGHLIGHTER

Really pops images by boosting vibrancy. Great for neon colors, clean and bold compositions, art. This one is intense at 100% so don’t forget to use the opacity slider!

JUST PEACHY

Oranges and yellows come to life in this filter which adds a luminous, sun-kissed glow without too much warmth.

PETAL

A soft, subtle boost of saturation and brightness that lends a light, bright finish.

POPPY

Great for shiny, deep, tomato reds to give your photos a punch without altering skin tone.

CERULEAN

Perfect for cool tones and photos featuring blues and purples. Gives a light, creamy wash of brightness while lifting away blacks. Great for adding life and subtle pop to overcast shots.

SUNNY DELIGHT

A sunny polish that lifts your photos leaving them clean, crisp, and lemon fresh.

SAFFRON

Similar to the Just Peachy filter but a bit warmer, more contrast, clarity, and with bolder blacks. Creates a warm, citrus feeling without as much of a glow.

HONEY

A warm, honey mustard vibe but clean, and vintage or faded.

CALYPSO

A bit moody but not to dark, this filter gives each image a bold, modern edit with deep contrast and really brings out blues and teals.

FLAMINGO

A rich pink and peach edit with brilliant, glowing skin tones.

ALMOND

For soft, natural tones and subtle color shifts, great for scenes with light backgrounds. Creates a creamy, milky effect.

I hope this tutorial was helpful and that you have fun editing with Pop! You can always find me on Instagram at rclayton if you have any questions regarding the pack. Thanks guys!

Sometimes a filter pack goes beyond just the filters and that’s exactly what I AM does. This filter pack (by noelledowning) is all about body positivity through empowerment in the message: I AM. Each filter name corresponds with the pack name (I AM strong, I AM worthy, I AM queen, etc.). We love that these filters not only match Noelle’s orange and blue toned feed, but also promote a new outlook beyond the tired standards of “beauty”.

Here is an example of each filter, all at 100% opacity:

Here are some additional tips on adjustments to get the most out of the filters:

Add a bit of clarity for richness (careful not to overdo this as it can sometimes highlight skin problems)
Add grain to achieve a film look
If the image appears whitewashed after application of the filter, please make the following adjustments:
– Reduce exposure by dragging the exposure slider to the left
– Reduce the whites by dragging the slider to the left 
– Reduce the highlights by dragging the slider to the left 
– Reduce the shadows and blacks if necessary 
If the image appears underexposed after applying the filters, make the below adjustments:
– Drag the shadows slider to the right to pull out some details 
– Drag the blacks slider to the right to brighten the image 
– Add whites by dragging the whites slider to the right 
– Add highlights by dragging the slider to the right 
– Depending on the results of the steps above you might need to increase the exposure by dragging the slider to the right 

Did you know that you can now manage in the app?  You can organize and sort your filter packs in a whole new way! The app already lets you drag and sort your packs (you can find the tutorial on that here!), but the manage packs feature allows you to hide, move, and download your packs all in one place. To find it, open the filter or effects menu and scroll to the very end of the list. Tap the manage packs icon and this brings you to the manage packs view. Here is what you can do:

To do this, hold your finger down on the 3-bar icon and drag it up or down. Release your finger once you have the pack where you want it to go. You can also do this in the main filter/effects menu view.

If you have any purchased packs that you no longer use or take up unwanted storage on your phone, tap “hide” next to the pack name and it will grey it out. You will notice that it no longer shows up in the main filter/effects menu and is completely erased from your phone, so it clears up some storage space too!

You can always re-download hidden packs at any time! To do this, access the manage packs screen and tap the cloud icon next to the pack you want to bring back. Easy as that!

If you’re an ACS+ member, any pack that you have not downloaded yet will have the hide icon and the cloud icon. This gives you the option to decide whether you want to download all of the packs, or hide a few until you’re ready to use them. For non-ACS+ members, you will also see packs that you have not purchased yet. These will have a plus sign next to them. If you tap those, it will open up their shop page and give you the option to purchase them. (You cannot hide unpurchased packs.)

We hope you love this new feature and find it helpful! As always, if you have any questions or have other tutorials you would like to see, please contact us at hello@acolorstory.com!
