Today we’re going to discuss a trendy Instagram effect that’s been making waves in the internet! That is the heart filter. The basic heart effect is a soft pinkish overlay that brightens up any picture. Instagram decided to brighten this up by adding a crown of little hearts as we call it. These hearts are automatically placed on top of the head of the person in the picture (much like a crown.) How does one add the heart filter effect without Instagram? Well, that’s what we’re going to be teaching you today! Give it a scroll and see which of these would work best for you!

Part 2. How to Add Heart Filter on Photos with Photoshop
Of course, we can’t do a graphics editing tutorial without teaching you to do it in Photoshop. So, how do you add heart filters on photos with Photoshop? Well, that’s actually a lot trickier than you would think. There are a couple of things that you’re going to have to worry about ,we’ll explain more in the demonstration, but for now, all you have to know is that you’re going to have to jump through a couple of hoops to get it done!
Step 1: Open…
To get started with Photoshop, you’re going to have to click on the white Open… text on the left hand side of the screen. This will prompt a windows popup where you can choose the image that you want to edit.
Step 2: Choose the Original Image
For this sample, we decided to go with this soft image (as shown below.) Pay close attention to what it looked like originally, and watch it get transformed as we progress!
Step 3: Browse Filters Online
Now, the thing that you need to know about Photoshop, is that it doesn’t come with any preset filters! That means, that if you want a certain type of effect, then you’re going to have to import it into the program. You can do this by clicking on the Filter tab > Browse Filters Online...
Step 4: Import Presets I.
Now, once you’ve chosen and downloaded the filter that you want to use, then you’re going to have to import it into the Photoshop directory! To start this process, click on the Edit tab >Presets > Export/Import Presets!
Step 5: Import Presets II.
Doing the previous step will bring you to this screen, follow the steps listed down below to successfully import your presets!
- First up, click on the Select Import Folder that is furthest to the left. This will prompt a windows popup that will ask you to locate the source folder of the image that you want to use.
- Next, click on the Add All option, or use the “> <” Arrow keys to pick out the filter that you want to use!
- Finally, finished it up by clicking the Import Presets option!
Step 6: Actions
The next step involves loading your filter into the Actions module. This module can be found on the right-hand side toolbar (it looks like a play button!) Make sure that you have this module active (as shown in the image below, before proceeding with the next step!
Step 7: Load Actions
We’re almost there! Don’t worry, just right-click on the “=” button on the top right-hand side of the action module. This will call up a drop down menu. Locate the Load Actions… option. This will prompt the Photoshop filters directly, just load the filter that you want to load, and you’re done with importing your preset!
Step 8: Apply Filter
For this sample, we chose a pinkish filter. However, if you want to add those heart crown effects then you’re going to have to either purchase an Instagram filter set (from the Adobe Photoshop store) or add the hearts yourself with the shape tool.
- To apply the filter: Highlight your filter of choice, and then click the “play” button on the bottom of the Actions module!
This is what the image looks like after the filter was applied! We didn’t have to do anything extra! The filter applied the preset actions automatically!
Step 9: Save As…
Now, as mentioned, you can definitely pick and choose the filter that you want to use. If you want the heart crown effect, then you can download an Instagram pack from the Adobe Photoshop store or make it yourself! Either way, remember to save before exiting the window! You can do this by clicking on the File tab > Save As… option!
