And products attract fingerprints + dust. But, I would love to see VSCO X include the tone curve into their app at some point. Then I drop it into VSCO X for color correcting + styling. I personally hop over to Lightroom CC (Mobile) if I need to make some tone curve changes while I’m doing a mobile edit. Myself and many of my peers in the photography industry rely on the Tone Curve to get the perfect amount of contrast & tone in our images. I can get my images very close in this app alone, but there are a few things that I would love to see improved: The editing panel within VSCO X is very close to perfect in regards to the tools it offers. (notice I didn’t say 100% though) In this area of the app, you can adjust your exposure, contrast, crop/straightening, sharpening, saturation, shadows & highlights, grain, HSL (VSCO X premium feature) and more. Once you get past picking your Preset you will proceed to the editing panel which gives you control over 90% of the things you could need while editing an image. Over editing is never an attractive look…A little goes a long way here. * Word of Caution: Do not use the film presets at 100% strength. I particularly like the following Preset families: Analog, Minimalist, Essence, and Isle of Dogs (which is, unfortunately, a limited time addition to the app)
So, having a one-click option to get me further along in my editing is a welcomed addition to my workflow. VSCO does a fantastic job at simulating an old-world film look with their presets and I absolutely love it! There are several film profiles (presets) that closely replicate the style of my custom editing.
I believe we all download the VSCO App for this particular reason. The first thing I’d like to discuss is VSCO’s Filters/Presets. So, let’s dive in and chat about this app/subscription!
Given my extensive use of the app over the past month, I wanted to do a full VSCO X Review so all you can know if it’s worth it or not (on my dime). For those who are unfamiliar, this is Visual Supply Co’s premium add-on for their popular mobile app and it goes for $19.99 a year. We used this on our brighter, sunnier photos with pops of pink to really bring it to life.It has been around 3 or 4 months since I heard about VSCO X for the first time and I’ve been using it quite frequently over the past month or so (for personal and even commercial work). Vacation season is nearing once again, which means you can upload your lush holiday pics to Instagram with this filter. If your feed is a little darker, this one is for you. You can add some grain or scratches to this filter to give it a really edgy feel. Dusty, grungy and a little dark, this is a great filter for those cool days out. If you’re after something a bit edgy, this is the perfect filter for you. As long as your photo has lots of natural light, it will look amazing! Filter 05 is part of The Legacy Collection and is around $1.99 for 10 filters. It really lightens pale tones whilst defining darker warmer tones. We used this for any photos with undertones of green or blue. This filter picks up green tones perfectly. C7 is part of the Chromatic Collection and is around $2.99 for 6 filters. It’s light, slightly faded and picks up nude and pink tones perfectly. We used this filter and presets to pick up pinkish tones and soften whites. This is the perfect filter for a minimalistic theme with a blush, girly tone.
If you want your feed to have a slight hue to the photos, this is the one to use! C1 is free and can be found in your VSCO app. C1 is quite light already, but the presets of this filter combination brings the saturation down and gives it quite a vintage feel. We used this one for whiter, brighter photos with dark elements. We tested out the best filter combinations on the internet with photographs of our Getting Stuff Done planner, trust us, these are the coolest VSCO cam filters to try right now. They have filters for every mood, every color scheme and every vibe you want to achieve/create. So, if you’re trying to create Instagram goals or become the next biggest content creator, then here’s a good place to start. You can subscribe for premium filters, edit the levels on each photo and take your feed to the next level by adding them to a grid before you upload them. If you’ve never heard of it before, then where have you been? Every major blogger, influencer or anyone serious enough about their Instagram feed will tell you that VSCO is an app you need to experiment with.
VSCO app can help you take your photos to the next level.
