# Self-Made Photo Filters The MIX by Camera360 Allows Users to Create Their Own Custom Image Filters By Ady Floyd | Published 2015-09-03 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camera360 References: [play.google](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pinguo.edit.sdk) & [mixmera360](http://www.mix.camera360.com/) 'MIX' by Camera360 is an Android app that allows users to create their own filters for photographs. Instead of sifting through [existing and general filters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-image) on smartphones and social media platforms like [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instagram-7), users can now have more control over their shared images. While photographs are a personal expression on their own, this app allows each user to further enhance their images by self-designed filters. After creating a stunning filter, the user has the option to save their personal design or discard it. With endless options, each picture can be completely altered and no one else will have the same stylistic approach. Additionally, the MIX app by Camera360 allows users to edit their images using traditional technology such as cropping. The ultimate goal for this [creative photography app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-ai-magic-editor) is "to remove any previous limitations placed on users' creative process and to open up unlimited possibilities." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Self-made Filters:** The rise of self-made photo filters is disrupting traditional photo editing software by democratizing the filtering process through innovative mobile apps like MIX by Camera360. - **Personalized Image Enhancement:** The trend towards personalized image enhancement is creating opportunities for app developers and brands to capitalize on user-generated content by offering more customization options for image manipulation. - **Creative Empowerment:** The trend towards empowering creative expression is creating opportunities for software developers and marketers to appeal to the growing demand for tools that offer greater autonomy and control over the creation and sharing of digital content. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Mobile App Development:** The rise of self-made photo filters presents opportunities for software developers to create new and innovative mobile apps that offer users more control over the filtering process. - **Photography Equipment and Accessories:** The trend towards user-generated content and personalized image enhancement is creating opportunities for photography equipment manufacturers and retailers to appeal to skilled hobbyists and professionals who want greater control over their image capturing and editing. - **Social Media Marketing and Advertising:** The trend towards user-generated content and creative empowerment is creating opportunities for social media marketers and advertisers to tap into the power of personal expression and to appeal to younger, more socially conscious audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Real Time Film Filters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vsco-capture.md) - [Physical Mobile Photography Filters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandmarc-cloud-diffusion-filters.md) - [Creative Imaging Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pic-2-planet.md) - [Photographer-Inspired Photo Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-leica-lux-app.md) - [Photo Editing Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/binsoo.md) - [Imaginative Photo-Editing AI Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/youniverse.md) - [AI-Powered Social AR Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snap-lens-studio.md) - [Creative Photo Communities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hipstamatic.md) - [Democratic Digital Artwork Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artzme-app.md)
