The photo filters you use tell us all about you

Filters are getting their 15 minutes of fame thanks to some updates made by three photo-sharing and social network sites. First, Instagram recently updated its site, welcoming another photo filter (Willow) into the fold. Then, as rumored, Twitter announced the addition of 8 photo filters available for its users. And on Wednesday, Flickr announced a highly regarded redesign of its Apple iPhone app that adds 16 photo filters for users.

So which of these filters do you use the most? All Things D posted an unscientific and comedic chart showing what the use of particular filters says about you. For example, those who prefer to use a Tilt-Shift filter to show a depth of field in their pictures think that they are "bigger than everyone else," while those choosing a black and white filter have "the vision of a dog."

Don't be offended or take it seriously. It does show you how popular filters have become, however. Hmmm. Wonder if anyone has a patent on them.

This article captions are misleading. Yes, the filters might imply your preferences but not the way the examples did here..
