"If you haven't already checked Instagram today (I know I'm not the only person obsessively refreshing!), you're in for a surprise\u2014version 6.0 was just released, and trust me when I say it is ah-ma-zing.\n\nThe update unveils 10 new creative tools for both iOS and Android versions, including some options you might recognize from other photo-editing apps (like brightness, contrast, warmth, etc.) and an easy-to-use slider bar to control the process. Five or six years ago, this kind of technology was only available by spending hundreds of dollars on clunky, professional software\u2014now it comes for free and fits in the palm of your hand. Helloooo, better-looking selfies than ever. Don't mind if I do.\n\nMy favorite new feature is the option to play with Instagram's signature filters, which means you can customize their intensity (no more crazy-orange Kelvin shots, yay!). Check out Amy Astley's pics (above) to see the before and after effects in action\u2014you can also compare your own photos by tapping on the preview within the app. You've got to admit, it's pretty cool.\n\nSo start snapping and sharing your new 'grams with us by tagging @teenvogue\u2014after all, pics or it didn't happen."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
