Instagram today announced that it has added five new photo filters to its enormously popular app. The filter selection process has also been revamped in order to make it easier to use.

The new photo filters are designed to “soften and subtly shift colors to achieve the look and feel you want for your each photo.” Their names are: Slumber, Crema, Ludwig, Aden and Perpetua.

The filter selection bar now features blurred previews of your actual photo with the filter’s effect applied, providing you with a better idea of what you’ll get before you apply the filter.

A new “Manage” button allows users to rearrange the order the filters appear in, as well as hide filters that they rarely or never use.

The new filters and features are available in version 6.4 for iOS and 6.12 for Android, both of which are available now through Apple’s App Store and Google Play, respectively.
