(Remastered)
- In Modern Editor 3.0, we introduce a new interface that makes it easier to focus on one task at a time. We hope you will like the line icons and the translucency throughout the app. In an effort to increase the quality of photos that you can make, we have dropped many features in this update. These features (such as frames, orientation, and aura) were not removed to limit you. Rather, the feature set has been structured around a central focus on quality, rather than the cluttered quantity of tools.
- Additionally, we added sliders for adjusting the strength of filters and textures.
- If you share a non-square photo to Instagram through this app, the necessary white borders will be added.
- Smart crash recovery retains the last photo you were working on, if the app was detected to crash.

- when making small movements of the text box, the text will no longer inadvertently go to editing the text
- the resize corner of the text box is more visible
Also, for controls & aura:
- increases the touch area on all adjustment sliders

Celebrating 3 months on the App Store - this is our biggest update yet! We've included a comprehensive Text tool that will allow you to write your own colorful captions, using one of our 35 special fonts. Additionally, we've added 8 filters, textures, and frames, 5 brushes, 3 aura sliders, and many performance fixes. Congrats and thank you for using quite possibly the most under-discovered photo app ever :)

This update is a game changer when it comes to photo editing.
Crop Tool Added
- crop your photos to any size, right when you import them
- full resolution is maintained even through the crop
- crop tool turns blue when the crop box is square - perfect for Instagram
Better filters: reverse-engineered
- when we say better, we mean best. We've reverse engineered Instagram's filters and this is what we found:
- Instagram filters edit the color matrix, the color controls (Brightness, Contrast, Saturation), and most importantly, the background texture.
- try our 17 new filters out - they are guaranteed to impress
Better brush effects
- brushes have a radial gradient applied to them - this is more subtle than our original effects
Minor Adjustments
- medium save resolution added (in between normal and HDR)
- now follow us on Instagram at @moderneditor
