Are you looking for a filter to use with portraits, still life, and landscapes? The monochrome Instagram filter Willow warms up an image with soft purple-pink hues and adds subtle white glow effect.
Many Instagram reviewers have focused on the purple tones in the Willow filter, but I think the filter has a mixture of purple and pink. What do you think?
The two monochrome filters with Instagram are Willow and Inkwell. Each offers a unique effect. If you want a softer look, go with the Willow filter. If you want to boost the contrast, try the Inkwell filter.
