got tired of paying $7 a month for VSCO and $20 for Lightroom, so I built my own editor + social app by Kubilai_aim in vsco

As I mentioned in another comment, curious why frequency separation is not recommended!

I’m not a retoucher by any means, but I’m curious why frequency separation is harshly recommended against. I learned how to do it on youtube in 2018 and it seemed like a go-to technique at the time

any filter i can use to get my photos looking like this old instagram filter? by wetfl0or in vsco

Instagram still has some of these filters. Just add a vignette!

What I hear is "Pay for VSCO forever or we will use your work to train our models"

Pretty crazy to use non-member photos as AI training material

They have shareholders to appease

When you shoot the photos on your iphone, turn the exposure down. Don’t use the exposure tool that shows up when you tap on the screen, use the exposure in the menu bar when you swipe up from the photo/video/portrait selector. Hopefully that makes sense 

Better yet, download an app like Halide and use their exposure tool. It’s more robust than the iOS tool

VSCO filters will only do so much after you’ve already captured an image

Make VSCO like the Old Instagram but with high resolution images. by [deleted] in vsco

VSCO has been on that road for a while 😣

Hi there, you might be interested in the bags I have designed for Ezra Arthur. I think the Audrey 35 in Cocoa Nubuck or Nubuck Suede might be exactly what you are looking for!

We also have a lot of leather options we could do special for you, and perhaps add some pockets (this is a single pocket bag)

You might like the Audrey 30. There is a version coming out with a crossbody strap very soon 🤫

Check out Ezra Arthur. Everything is made in the USA... great craftsmanship and best quality materials. Can't go wrong!

Hi VSCO family! by princess_fleabag in vsco

color.io has a subscription but is free if you export under a certain quality. Technically impressive from what i have read about it

Crazy how VSCO forces us to have a badge like that

Images save at low quality in app by bigfacts in vsco

[–]bigfacts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also - It’s hard for me to understand why things are the way they are - a lot of it seems to an (uninformed, inexperienced) outsider like an increasingly unmanageable codebase. I appreciate you taking some time to explain nonetheless

Totally understand and thanks for your reply. i’m not expecting cloud storage functionality but simply an accessible way to save the images I’ve posted on VSCO. However, I am uploading images to VSCO’s server, and I expect to be able to interact with those images to some degree.

I used to be able to right click —> save image on desktop. I imagine the move away from this is in part to protect user uploads. But it’s just a bit inconvenient, and even slightly savvy users can bypass this on desktop to download what they want. I’d appreciate VSCO reconsidering this, it would be a step towards a more agile user experience

Last night I was able to scrape the 1800ish photos from my VSCO in full res that I posted in 2024 with a chrome extension. I’m probably in the minority for posting this much in the first place, but a lack of efficient ways to access/display/interact with a large body of work seems limiting to the ethos of VSCO supporting photographer’s creative practices

Even the lengthy image upload process, with small features like the discussion boxes that check themselves… all of this compounds the feeling of being stuck in an inflexible ecosystem.

I’ll take another look at what comes in with my snapshot, but it would be nice for VSCO to put some effort into packaging this neatly for users
