VSCO has officially rolled out its new Capture app to iPhone users around the world after testing the waters in Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand last month. Now it is going full global, and it’s coming for the default camera with a clear message: you can have aesthetic and control, no filter fights necessary. TechCrunch
What’s So Special About Capture?
1. 50 Film-Inspired Presets; In Real Time. No more guessing what your photo will look like post edit. Capture gives you 50 real-time filters inspired by classic film stocks. Gadgets360
2. Manual Mode, Shutter speed, white balance, ISO, tweak it all before tapping that shutter. Plus, dreamy extras like bloom and halation let you go full blown creative without post-edit headaches. The App Whisperer
3. Shoot Like a Pro (Even If You’re Not One). Capture saves in RAW and ProRAW, so you are not losing any detail. Perfect for creators who want to edit deeper later. Oh, and your photos sync directly into the VSCO app, seamless, no USB transfers required. DIY Photography
What You Can’t Do (Yet)
You can’t upload directly to your VSCO feed from Capture. But every picture you take syncs automatically to your VSCO studio, where you can edit, post, or just hoard like the photo perfectionist you are. Also, this is iPhone only for now. VSCO hasn’t said anything about expanding to Android, but fingers crossed. DPReview. This isn’t just another aesthetic camera app. It’s part of VSCO’s bigger strategy to become the platform for visual creators. They’re rolling out tools to help photographers build portfolios, sell their work, and learn new skills, including acquiring The Freelance Photographer, a creative education company. VSCO isn’t just giving creators better tools, it’s giving them a full-blown ecosystem.
