MetaSlider Slideshow and Gallery Now Have Instagram-Style Filters

Creating beautiful image displays in WordPress just got easier. Check out the new Image Styles feature in MetaSlider Gallery and MetaSlider Slideshow!

If you have ever used Instagram, you already know what this feature does.

Instagram calls them filters. One tap makes a photo brighter and more vibrant. Another gives it a soft, old-fashioned, black-and-white look. It is the quickest way to change the mood of an image without ever opening a photo editor.

You can now do the same thing in WordPress. Image Styles gives you 14 presets, including Noir, Silver, Vintage, Golden Hour, Warm, Cool, Vivid, Dramatic, and Negative. Pick one, and every image in your gallery or slideshow takes on that look.

Here’s an example of a regular gallery created with MetaSlider Gallery. We haven’t applied any image styles to this gallery.

Here’s the same gallery but with the “Dramatic” filter enabled and rounded corners:

And here’s the same gallery with the “Vintage” filter and box shadows:

These filters also work inside lightbox windows. In the screenshot above, we used the “Vintage” filter for the main gallery layout. If you click on the image to open the full gallery window, you’ll now see the “Vintage” filter applied here too.

Wait … there’s more!

The new Image Styles feature provides filters, but also a lot more.

You can now restyle your images with rounded corners, borders, shadows, opacity, and rotate or flip effects

You can use box shadows and opacity controls to make gallery images feel more polished.

Examples of these image styles in action

Here’s an example of a MetaSlider slideshow. We’re using the “Golden Hour” filter, plus 20px rounded corners and a 1px border. Click on the images, and you’ll see the images also have the filter in the lightbox window.
