INSTAGRAM BUG TURNS HDR PHOTOS BLACK AND WHITE

Users posting HDR photos to Instagram have reported their color images appearing in black and white. Instagram acknowledged the problem to Engadget, stating that "a technical issue caused some HDR photos to appear incorrectly as black-and-white for a subset of accounts." Complaints about the bug surfaced on April 18 and 19, suggesting the issue persisted for at least two days. The glitch appears to specifically target HDR photography, leaving standard photos unaffected. Instagram did not specify when users could expect a resolution, though the company's acknowledgment indicates engineers are working to restore color to affected posts. Users experiencing the issue were advised that the problem stems from Instagram's systems, not their cameras or accounts. Those with affected photos may need to repost them once the bug is resolved.
