FYI — You can enable a setting in Instagram to save originals to your photo library.

That's why I like Hipstamatic, it requires setting up that ideal filter for a shot ahead of time, and if the photo doesn't turn out then you've lost your shot. Add in the random shifting of the photo and you get some wonderful found photos with a bunch of low quality attempts.

I'm no photographer! :) To be fair, I'm using Camera+ which gives me the ability to save the original file too. In general, I just don't because a lot of the pictures are just for punctual use and present little interest to me in their original form.

you can always use photos from your camera roll in instagram, making it a post-process only app. Or you can take photos in instagram and (unfortunately) not have a 'raw' file left.

To the downvoters, I meant that as a good thing.
