For those of you who are frequent users of Flickr, you might have noticed that Flickr has just received a new beta design from Yahoo, where it will deliver a new photo viewing experience. Joining up is a snap, all you need to do is to just click the “Try our new Photo Experience” button on any photo page on Flickr, and you ought to notice three main changes. First of all, the photo would be bigger than ever before, right about 25% larger in size compared to its predecessor – meaning that more pixels are crammed in to deliver a cleaner view.
Apart from that, the “story” would be located right next to the photo, as all photos have a story behind them, such as in the comments, tags, as well as photo-specific information. The whole idea of the new beta design in Flickr was to present a larger image that does not require you to perform much, if any, scrolling, at the same time check out whatever other information it carries.
Last but not least, the new photo experience has been built from the ground up, relying on new technology in order to depict photos in a far faster manner than ever before. The performance boost will hopefully be significant enough for users to notice as they go from one photo to another. [Press Relaese]

The update brings a host of new features such as filters and more camera tools, it also removes the paywall on some features that were previously only available to pro users. The app now allows users to apply filters before they actually take a photo. They can apply the filters to the live camera feed. Several new filters have also been added, users can also customize them if they want.
The new camera tool in Flickr iOS update include grids, focus lock, pinch to zoom and enhanced ability to manage exposure points. The paywall has been dropped on several pro features such as photo enhancing, cropping, adjusting color and tonal levels, sharpening and vignettes.

Filters have become incredibly popular, particularly since Instagram became a massive hit. Most photography apps offer a unique set to users, Flickr upping its filter game is evidence that Yahoo wants it photo-sharing service to keep up with the times.

Given the stiff competition from other photo editing apps, Yahoo is approaching its Flickr renaissance with steely determination.

Also included in the update are several beefed up — and free — editing features, like color balance settings, level adjustments and a sharpening tool.
