Instagram and Hipstamatic are fine... for now. Let's face it, they create intriguing images today that very likely we will look stylistically dated in 5-10 years as "Hipstamatic" or "Instagram" shots. On the other hand PS or any of the numerous photo editors I have on my iPhone allow me to take a raw image and process it as I would like and then save a copy. I much prefer this route even though it takes more time. I am left in the end with the "image" and the "art" which can then be reinterpreted at a later date. And I think that is something the author gets at... these new filter programs are "fun"... but will they look like those 1980's strip mall glamour shots in the year 2020?
