There are loads of photographers out there who gawk at the Instagram look despite the fact that it’s so popular with many people. However, the trend is starting to die down as the whole hipster culture has evolved. With that in mind, Lynda has developed a tutorial on how to use and get the most out of Instagram’s editing tools. Though they’ve been available for a while, the editing tools have greatly improved over time as have those from EyeEm and Lightroom Mobile.

Lynda shows you how to make the most of saturation, shadows, etc and they explain why they’re doing the specific edits that they do.

If you’re a Lightroom desktop user, the editing tools are, for the most part, like the basic adjustments in Lightroom.

Lynda’s video is after the jump.
