VSCO launches dedicated 'Capture' app with live previews
VSCO, the photo filter and editing app that spawned an entire culture , has released a dedicated camera app called VSCO Capture. The free iOS‑only app is a camera with live previews where users can choose from over 50 different presets with real‑time film effects and manual settings like shutter speed and exposure for fine‑tuning. The app takes the guesswork out of how your photo will look after you apply VSCO's iconic filters. 'VSCO Capture is a direct response to our community's desire to get closer to the lens, to reduce editing fatigue and find more joy in the process of making authentic, stylized photography using their phone,' said Eric Wittman, CEO of VSCO. The app's non‑destructive presets retain the original captured image so users can modify them later and change filters after the fact. VSCO Capture supports RAW and ProRAW formats for maximum flexibility when editing. Capture syncs instantly with the main VSCO app for additional edits and sharing. VSCO Capture is available for download now on iOS.

VSCO doubles down on image filters with its 'Capture' camera app for iPhone
Visual Supply Co. (VSCO) has introduced an iPhone camera app called Capture, integrating its signature image filters directly into the photography process. Unlike traditional apps that apply filters in post, VSCO Capture lets users preview and apply filters and effects in real time before taking a photo or video. The app is now available for free download on the Apple App Store. VSCO Capture: What's new Live presets before you shoot The app offers 58 real-time VSCO presets, including film-inspired styles and modern filters co-developed with professional photographers. Users can see exactly how their photo will look before they press the shutter – removing the guesswork from post-editing. Manual camera controls Capture includes manual control over key settings such as: Shutter speed Exposure White balance ISO Focus It also supports RAW and ProRAW formats for added flexibility in editing. Quick-access toggles make it easy to adjust flash and resolution while shooting. Apply film effects in real time A highlight feature is the ability to apply Bloom and Halation effects in real time. These effects replicate the soft haze and glowing light bleed of vintage film photography. The cinematic look is customisable, letting users tweak intensity, size, and range to suit their style – from subtle shimmer to bold, dreamlike glow. Syncs with main VSCO app for deeper edits Photos captured in VSCO Capture automatically sync with the main VSCO app, where users can access the platform's full editing toolkit. From there, images can be posted directly to a user's VSCO profile or shared across other social platforms.

VSCO's new, free app doesn't just apply film presets before you shoot – it mimics that film-like glow from an iPhone

Mobile editing powerhouse VSCO made a name for itself with film-inspired mobile presets – but iPhone photographers no longer need to wait until after taking the shot to get the film-like look. VSCO Capture is a new iOS app that applies presets before you shoot, giving photographers manual exposure controls and even dials in the glow and halation of old film lenses. VSCO previously teased the Capture app with a slow launch, releasing the app in Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand. But on July 22, VSCO began rolling out the Capture app worldwide on iOS. Unlike the longstanding VSCO app, VSCO Capture is designed not for editing photos but for shooting them. The filters that VSCO is known for are applied before the shot, allowing mobile photographers to see the effect as they frame the shot on the screen. At launch, the app includes more than 50 live filter presets. But the film-inspired presets aren't the only way Capture aims to bring an analog look to iPhones. The app allows photographers to apply Bloom and Halation in real-time before shooting. Bloom and halation are terms for a glowing effect around the brightest parts of an image, a look that was common from old film lenses and can be mimicked on modern glass with a diffusion filter. Both tools in Capture create a glow around light sources, but Halation comes with a tint control to also adjust the color of that bloom of light, where the Bloom tool does not. Inside the VSCO Capture app, creators can adjust the strength, size, and range of both the bloom and halation effects. The company says that it gives users the ability to create anything from a subtle glow to a bold halo. The app opens to a live camera view, including the same controls found on the native iPhone app, like switching the lens and using the selfie camera. But besides the presets and halation tools, Capture also includes manual exposure controls, including shutter speed for creating motion blur. From the settings menu, creators can also toggle on a level and Rule of Thirds grid to aid in composition. While VSCO Capture's presets are applied as the image is taken, a toggle in the app's settings allows users to save both an original and an edited image, useful for changing the filter later, particularly when RAW mode is also turned on instead of JPEG. HEVC and ProRAW are also available from the app's settings menu on phones that support those file types. VSCO Capture is a free app available on the App Store for iOS devices.
