In my opinion, showing just the Instagram filters is worse in that case, since using any other filter (i.e. Photoshop, Camera-integrated or analog) will not be shown and people might think this is a realistic picture when it really is not.

There is some artistic and marketing value in showing the filter, but not for the use-case outlined by the OP.
