One can only hope that, based on this information, Instagram and Flickr will introduce a Komar-and-Melamid-esque “Most Wanted Filter.You don’t take photos with Filters. Filters that give an image an aged look - your sepia-tone and black-and-white filters, for instance - boost the number of views while decreasing images’ chances of garnering comments.Filters that effect the saturation of a photo inexplicably have a small and negative impact on the number of views, but a positive impact on the number of comments garnered.
The filters most likely to boost images’ popularity are those “that impose warm color temperature, boost contrast, and increase exposure.”.Overall, photos with filters are 21% more likely to be looked at than non-filtered photos and 45% more likely to elicit comments.The most compelling conclusions, drawn from analysis of 7.6 million photos uploaded to Flickr between late 2012 and mid-2013 - either through its mobile app (3.5 million) or through Instagram (4.1 million) - include: The study’s testimony from filter admirers and abstainers can be entertaining, but its findings regarding how the use of filters effects the popularity of a photo, both in terms of the number of other users who look at it and how many take the extra step to comment on it, are far more illuminating. Jean Dubuffet’s “Monument with Standing Beast” (1984) treated with, from left to right, no filter, the type of filter the study suggests will make it popular, and the type of filter that would make it unpopular. Filter users fall into one of two categories: “serious photography hobbyists” and “casual photographers.” The latter apply filters to their images more liberally and have a generally less precious attitude toward their photos, whereas the former use filters sparingly, and then only to highlight or accentuate existing features of their photos. The results of the study’s first half, devoted to the testimony of 15 Flickr mobile users who participated in hour-long interviews about their filter usage, can be painfully self-evident. It uses Flickr as its main source of data and was conducted by Georgia Tech interactive computing professor Eric Gilbert along with Saeideh Bakhshi, David Ayman Shamma, and Lyndon Kennedy, all employees of Yahoo Labs, a division of Yahoo, Flickr’s parent company. According to a new study of the ways photographers do (or don’t) apply filters to the images they post online, certain types of filters tend to elicit more comments, while others can boost popularity. However intriguing, the study should be taken with a grain of salt.
