VSCO: AI Photo & Video Editor 345

High-end cameras are now a must with all phones as people are now relying more and more on their phone cameras to capture their moments and to record their memories. This is because it's difficult to have a digital camera on you at all times while the phone stays with its owner at all times. Therefore, it's easier if you have a great camera on your phone. However, to make sure that the pictures you capture do look great, you will have to get a great camera and image editor app. While your Android phone would have its own regular Camera app which would offer a couple of editing features, if you want to make your pictures look professional and great, you will have to go the App Store. One awesome image editor app you will find in the App Store is VSCO.

VSCO is, at its core, an image editor app. However, it would be a mistake to qualify it as just an app which helps you edit your photos. It has a great Camera feature that lets you take pictures from the app while it also allows the option of creating a community and following fellow photographers to see what they are capturing and how they are presenting their photos to the world.

The app's homepage looks similar to a photography site with collections of different users of VSCO on display. This is a great way to inspire people to take similar photographs. You will have to create your own account before you can start using the app. This means that you will have a profile of your own on VSCO too and you can publish your pictures after editing as well and let your peers and fellows judge the quality of your work. You can follow people on VSCO, like pictures and comment as well.

The app's main feature though is the image editing option. You will find the image editor at the bottom center of the app. You can take a new picture and edit it or you can edit a picture already present on your phone's memory. The number of editing tools available on the app can be overwhelming. The app has its own set of presets which mix tone, colors, hue and clarity to set the scene for your pictures. There are the classic, chromatic, mellow, portraits, mood, instant and moody presets available. If you are not sure about the presets then you can do all the editing yourself as well. You can change the exposure, set the contrast, straighten the plane, skew the picture on X or Y axis, sharpen it out, improve the saturation, add shadows, change skin tone etc using the Tools available. There is also a 'Recipe' feature available which lets you create a template for the changes you want to make on all your pictures. The recipe feature is activated with each edit and you can actually remove or change all your edits on any picture using this feature.

You can manage your profile as well from the bottom right option available on your screen. You can see the images and collections you have shared with the VSCO community and the responses to your displays as well from here. This is a good feature especially for photography enthusiasts who want to get in touch with people who have similar interests.

Features

• Excellent social media model for photographers
• Wonderful editing tools available
• A plethora of existing presets available
• Unique recipe feature available to create a step-by-step guide of all the editing functions you use.

Conclusion

VSCO is a great image editor app with a wonderful community available as well if you are into socializing. The app has great editing tools and if you want to improve the quality of pictures then you won't find many apps offering total control over what you want to do with your captured photos.
