Top three photos from iPhone 4 using VSCO Cam filter 4 and 5
VSCO Cam is a new iPhone app from Visual Supply Co (VSCO) and it's my new favorite thing. It's a scaled down iPhone version of their film presets for Lightroom which I highly recommend getting as well. I use it for all my digital photos.
I got VSCO Cam over the weekend after seeing a good number of people using it on Instagram. There are 10 filters to choose from. Three black & white and the other seven has different colors & contrasts. And if you really want to go more into processing, you can add more grain if you like, bump up the saturation, temperature and more. It's like a mini Lightroom on your iPhone! I love it. It gives the photos a subtle, film-like quality to it. So far, my favorite filters are 1, 4, and 5. The only gripe I have with this app is I wish there was a way to select a batch of photos to import instead of one photo at a time. Otherwise, best 99 cents spent!

And check this out, I even tried it on a photo from my Canon Rebel w/ 50mm f/1.4 lens. If you want a quick and cheap way to edit your photos from your digital cameras, here's a trick you can use. Email the photo to yourself. Open and save it from your iPhone. Then, import it into your VSCO Cam app. Apply the filter you want and bam! So easy and so much better, right? Robot Lilliput is juicier now. You can email it back to yourself and then upload it to your blog or website and done. Try it and tell me what you think!
Thanks for sharing this...I just went ahead and bought it whilst reading your post!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great tip! Thanks for sharing, Dab.
ReplyDeleteI love this. The grain is awesome! If only they would make an Android app.
ReplyDeleteOMG. I am totes doing this from now on :) Thanks for sharing, Dab <3
ReplyDeleteI'm super addicted to it already, so glad they made an app! And how is it I like the filters on the app so much more than the LR presets? :)
ReplyDeleteHah, I love the filters on VSCO Cam. They're much more natural than the Instagram filters. Thanks for this! Check out my review of VSCO Cam: http://t.co/j8vt9QEW
ReplyDeleteOh, isn't it great! I've only tested it out a few times via Instagram. But I'm ashamed to say I'm only just now learning about the program. Getting that asap. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSo funny I just started using it! I really really like it already...
ReplyDeleteI just bought this app last night! So smart to email photos to yourself. Gotta try that one for my next blog post.
ReplyDeletei got the app last week and i love it! it's so similar to the computer version -- i agree, best 99¢ spent ever.
ReplyDeleteyou're good. real good.
ReplyDelete*sigh*.....it took me a year to convince my husband that a smart phone was something that i neeeeeded. he's not much into the idea of needing something like this and at the time we were a bit strapped from month to month as we tried to pay a few bills off.
ReplyDeletei finally [finally!] convinced him and was so thrilled that he said "okay, go" that i couldn't wait 2 months for verizon to launch their iphone line. well damn it. now i'm anxiously waiting for our contract to expire so i have an excuse to switch from a droid to an iphone......because this app looks awesome, along with the 3452 other ones i want. baby steps...
I've been messing around with it for the past week or so too---it's fun--but I haven't quite mastered like you my friend!! Happy weekend lovebug!
ReplyDeleteWow, i will try it, thanks !!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip, that is an amazingly useful app indeed!
ReplyDeleteI'm also LOVING it. Although I'm going to keep at shooting real film. I believe I'll be purchasing a medium format this weekend in honor of my birthday. Seems fitting :)
ReplyDeleteI'm continually impressed by the quality of apps for the iphone camera. Have not heard of this one, thanks for sharing. Going to download it now.
ReplyDeleteLove it! ;)
