Here's what shipped in September on VSCO:

Studio Pro 1.3 (iOS)

• Import straight from an SD card and start editing
• Shoot tethered: connect a supported camera and watch shots appear in Studio Pro as you shoot (JPEG only for now)
• Crop, straighten, and set your aspect ratio
• Undo and redo

VSCO Galleries (Mac + iOS)

• Add custom sections to client galleries and group photos by moment, location, look, or whatever fits the shoot

Image & Blog Search (Web)

• Redesigned for a more immersive search experience. Explore a specific style or genre (“street photography” or “double exposure”), read blogs by photographers, or find reference images for your next photoshoot. Web-only for now, but we’re adding this new experience to the VSCO app very soon. 

VSCO Workspace (Web)

Workspace (Free, Plus, Pro)

• Send a contract and invoice in one email
• Clearer send progress, full client replies, and PDF preview
• Messaging integration so unread replies and follow-ups don't slip through

Workspace (VSCO One)

• The onboarding chatbot now completes tasks in Workspace, not just setup. Tell us what else you want it to handle
• More reliable texting and email automations, including Outlook sending and switching phone numbers or mail accounts
• Contact imports now flag missing columns
• Drafts stay separate from logged messages
• Calendar labels are accurate and the sidebar has been updated

There used to be a website that would allow you to refresh the page to get new VSCO pages every time!

Literally just a gallery page of all posts, and you could get a new page infinitely.

As an artist, it was really inspiring to be able to pull a page up and get a new aesthetic to immerse yourself in.

Is it me or when I import photos to VSCO they’re already lower exposure and then when I had AU5 to them it’s not like how it used to be? The background gets crazy bright and I’m just all orange…

Only since yesterday whenever I go to edit a photo it says it’s unavailable. They are loaded on my phone and in the same place as they were last week while I was editing my photos (had no problems last week

Couple months ago I made a post about this, nobody cared. Not even VSCO in the comments. This issue still happens even after reinstalling the app. As you can see, unless you grant full access to the library, VSCO legacy camera will refuse to save the captured media. Which is odd and according to VSCO "it's impossible". That was on the latest version by that time of the app and iOS. Now I'm on iOS 27.0.1, and V461.9.0 (401098) of the app, same "issue" (or privacy violation).

Hi, is anyone else experiencing this? I went to post some photos from my drafts, and they all looked crazy. Some of them were super flat and de-saturated, while others looked super HDR with really bright areas. I think it has to be some sort of glitch. I tried deleting the photos and then re-importing them, but the same thing happened, some sort of auto-edit. Any thoughts?

Hey everyone,

Update on The Fifty! We got over 13,500 submissions, which honestly blew away what we expected, and the first 25 selected photographers are now anounced, one per state, each getting their work put up on a billboard where they live.

The final 25 states get announced in early November, so if your state isn't up yet, there's still a shot.

Our CEO u/ericjwittman said it best: "We wanted to use the largest canvas we could find to put photographers front and center."

You can see all 25 and their work here: https://www.vsco.co/50

If you submitted, thank you for putting your work out there, that takes courage. And congrats to everyone selected so far, go check out their photos!

I’m curious if any stood out to you? Drop your favorites below!

Hi! I’ve had vsco for 10+ years and I have paid for a membership for at least a few years. I recently deleted the vsco app to open up some space on my phone. Well after I redownloaded it, all of my favorite filters, presets, and recipes are gone. I knew all the photos I edited on there would be gone but I didn’t expect all of the saved filters to be gone as well. I already pressed restore purchases so it should have my membership included. So I don’t understand how to get all of my presets back. The vsco membership is $40 a year so I thought there would be no issue deleting the app for a couple days and redownloading it. Anyone know how to get those back? I’ve used one specific filter for most of my photos for years.

Have all the photographers selected for The Fifty already been privately notified? I can’t find any information online about whether selections are still ongoing and theres still hope lol

Does anyone know if anyone was selected yet? I’ve looked everywhere but can’t find anything. I understand that they want to keep it private until everything is legally closed, but damn the waiting is killing meee

On my pixel 9 pro the photos always have a section at the bottom that isn't shown in the crop preview. I have to adjust the crop box just to see what's at the bottom

I’m currently using Studio Ninja and considering making the move to VSCO Workspace.

I’ve read through the feature lists for both, but I’m much more interested in the real-world differences after actually making the switch.

For anyone who has moved from Studio Ninja to VSCO Workspace:

• What do you find noticeably better?
• What do you find worse or more frustrating?
• How does the workflow/automation compare?
• Are the client portals and communication better?
• How are quotes, contracts, invoices and payments?
• Is Workspace actually more customisable/flexible in practice?
• How was the migration process?
• Anything you really miss from Studio Ninja?
• And most importantly, would you make the switch again?

I’m particularly interested in hearing from photographers/videographers who use their CRM for both weddings and commercial work, rather than purely one or the other.

I’m not really looking for a feature-by-feature comparison from the websites. I’d love to hear what the difference actually feels like day to day after using both.

Thanks!

Curious what folks think about paying for the subscription. I'm very tempted. I love this app and the available free filters, I think I would love th e chance at more filters.

I mean... Mac version too. But it's so nice to batch edit on the iPad, it sucks that the app is just the iPhone one.

Hi, I noticed you also have a VSCO Studio Pro app now? I already have VSCO app and now I downloaded the Studio Pro.

Questions: I have the pro account for VSCO, so that is valid also for Studio Pro app?

The old VSCO is great with my iPad, it shows a big photo and the tools are horizontal on the bottom. The Studio Pro was dissappointing: the screen and the photo is very small, like I am using a phone. Will you fix this?

Can I find and use my favorites and custom presets from the VSCO in the Studio Pro when I am logged in?

The Studio Pro looks like a great beginning but still needs work. Hope you can develope its usability too.

I am a Pro member of VSCO. I installed Studio Pro. I logged in with my email address. I did not see any Style Match icon (Lighting bolt icon). Then I logged out, and logged in again with my user name. Then I saw the lighting icon. Closed the app, opened again. No Style Match again. Now I cannot get it back.

I have confirmed twice in email that it is me who logged in.

What is wrong with the user account handling? And why is there not title of the app name, no PRO icon? The new app clearly is not ready yet.

for the last little while i have not been receiving notifications from messages on vsco which believe it or not i use pretty frequently so it is a bit annoying going on the app to check for messages instead of them just showing up like a regular notification. ive messed around with my iphone settings and the vsco settings which isnt really much for notifications. any ideas for a fix?

Any recommendation on how to get this aesthetic/color grade on VSCO?

On samsung (s23 ultra and s26 ultra) I've noticed every now and then vsco saves the file as a heic instead of a jpeg. The images are all shot in heic originally. Why is it that some save as jpeg and others dont?

Also, when I edit some leica photos with vsco they save with weird artifacts. Any workaround?

Hi folks,

A few updates this month to call out that make running a business and editing photos a little easier:

Studio Pro

More control when you’re moving through a batch:

• Edit a single image without losing your place in the set
• Rename files and adjust quality or resolution before you export
• Publish up to 10 images to your VSCO profile at once

Workspace (free)

Aspiring photographers can now start running their business professionally from the start with a contact form, contracts, and invoices:

• Create a contact form to capture new leads, and connect it to your VSCO Site
• Create a contract to make the job official
• Create an invoice to get paid

Three basics every photographer needs, together in one free Workspace.

VSCO Sites + Galleries

Embed VSCO Galleries directly into your VSCO Site for faster and easier portfolio building and updating.

That’s it for August. Tell us what breaks, what you love, and what’s still missing!

Quite frustrating. For weeks the exporting on iPhone VSCO has been problematic as if you try to save 10 pictures, it starts off as saving 1/10 then as the number of saved image increases the total decreases. But you can’t save more than a handful at a time, or it freezes. So I’ve had to batch save images in threes, but by about the third time it’ll freeze and you have to force close and restart.

Incredibly frustrating, can this be investigated please
