DES MOINES ON INSTAGRAM:

Oh look, you used 1977 for that photo you took at a concert. So did everyone else. Instagram's options are kind of limiting, so here are four apps that will make make you the envy of all your followers.

Afterlight: Loaded with adjustment tools, filters, textures, cropping tools and frames. 99 cents.

VSCO Cam: An app with better presets than the iPhone camera or Instagram, editing tools and a publishing platform. Free.

Whitagram: An app that puts a white background on landscape and portrait pictures, meaning you don't have to crop your pics. Free.

Mextures: Add layers and textures to photos with filters created from actual 35mm film scans. $1.99.
