This is a trade-off for maintaining a non-destructive RAW workflow. Most of the negative aspects pertain to their limited range of control emulating film in Lightroom’s native environment.A great value at $59.50 USD if you’ve purchased previous sets.Works great for food, interior architecture and fashion.High contrast, vibrant colors and bright highlights.A nice collection of vibrant stocks to round off previous bundles unlike the last Instant Film Pack 3 that resulted in over- baked images.All effects across the board (not just Film Pack 4) are non-destructive and saved in memory as opposed to creating a secondary TIFF file to edit in an external program.
#Vsco presets review professional#
Modeled after slide film - a popular option with professional photographers for its high contrast aesthetic - it’s another jam-packed array of both modern and discontinued options that follow VSCO’s familiar route of providing both the film in its truest form, as well as variations of the preset with increased/decreased/contrast effect tweaks to modify the emulation. The launch of VSCO Film Pack 4 recently added, what is in our eyes, the most compelling pack thus far.

The ability to pair a digital effect with something you could very well replicate through physical processes creates a sort of romantic link.įrom a professional prospective, the look of VSCO has now almost become the de facto look and feel desired by clients and has given wide-stream credibility to the world of analog filters. VSCO has obvious limitations that can’t be rectified at the time in which the shutter was pressed, but it can make a boring photo take on a much different dynamic - hence the popularity of Instagram.One perhaps lesser-debated element of VSCO has been its strong real-world link between digital and analog.

Despite the ability for virtually everybody to take a photo, there’s often much to be desired across the board for some of the relatively mundane photos that proliferate your various social media feeds. While the renaissance of analog methods has been well-documented and is nothing exactly new, it is, however, something that continues to gain traction.
