How can you tell if someone used a filter?
Look for poor editing first. Glaring blunders must be the first method you identify a doctored picture. A useful idea is to look around the area you think is edited if you believe something's been customized. Buckling around a topic is a pretty clear indication of picture manipulation.
How do you find out what Instagram filter someone used?
If an individual taps on the text box, they get a pop-up that both identifies the filter being used, and asks users if they'd wish to try it out for themselves.
