Voilaaaaa…  Did you know that creative Instagram-style photoediting can not only be done via your smartphone, but also with your Canon SLR camera? So switch off your smartphone (and stop worrying about high roaming charges) on your next trip because your Canon can do just that, in high resolution! The setting has been introduced in 2010 and is available to cameras such as the 600D, 650D, 60D. How does it work? Hidden in your camera settings there is the tiny, inconspicuous command ‘Creative filters’ with five different options: Grainy B/W, Soft Focus, Fisheye Lens, Toy Camera Effect, Miniature Effect , which can create great effects to your photos and make photo-editing easy as pie.

So while sitting in the bus or the plane you could flick through your photos and already edit your favourite ones and apply some of the different filters!
