Yahoo! continues to enhance its photo sharing platform, Flickr. After a complete revamp of Flickr's interface and services last spring, Yahoo! has now added a photo filter option to the Flickr mobile app, allowing users to add a number of different special effects to their images.


The popular photo-enhancing filters feature is now available on all of the major photo sharing apps, as users of Instagram (Facebook), Twitter and Snapseed (Google) have already grown accustomed to transforming their photos at the touch of a finger.
