On the image below, I also added light flare using the Lens Distortion app. I think Q1 resembles a lot like Portra 160, my all time favorite film. Compared with the other numbers of the Q series, this one does not give an “overly processed” look and retain some natural colors of the original image. With gentle color shifts and high contrast, the Q1 is a perfect filter for nature photos that feature blue sky and foliages. It creates dramatic color shifts and high contrast on photos. Available for purchase in the app for $2.99 USD and generously includes 10 presets (Q1-Q10). This preset replicates the result of Cross Processing technique in film photography. This filter is very strong so I suggest you to adjust the intensity to half. This is by far my second most favorite filter after the A6. The C7 gives a saturated cool, bluish tones and is also good for lightening up dark photos. This filter work best on darker photos and street photos. My personal favorites are the C5 and C7.Ĭ5 gives off a warm mood on your photo by adding rosy tint. Available for purchase in the app for $2.99 and includes six vibrant filters (C4-C9). Each of the preset gives out different vibes but all make the colors of your photo pop.

The Chromatic Series are super vibrant and well, super chromatics. There’s not too much color alteration going on so the final images still look natural (and better looking.) I love the warmth and richness it gives to browns, and clean minimalist feel it gives to an image because of the light desaturation. This filter looks really really good on wooden, leather and distressed wall surfaces as it enhances the depth and increases contrast.Ī6 is my favourite preset and the one that I have been using the most lately. It gives a warm and “aged” look with its brownish tone. The A4 Presets from The Analog/Aesthetic Collection is a wonderful filter. My favorite is the A4 and A6 and both come free with the VSCO Cam apps bundle. Well-suited for interiors, portraits and food photography. They give a higher contrast, subtle color shifts and slight fading while still maintain a natural look on your photo. The Aesthetics Series is one of the most popular presets in VSCO. I’m not going to explain about each of the filter here (because I only use a handful of them) but rather I’m going to share you 10 of my favorite filters (5 free ones and 5 purchased), let’s get started: The Analog/Aesthetics Collection (A4-A6)

Ten come with the app, eight more are available for free download, and the other 68 are available for purchase. VSCO has over 86 presets/filters available and the number is still growing. The first step to editing in VSCO is choosing your preset. Oh and by the way, I haven’t mentioned it in the beginning because I thought most of you would know this already: PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM INSTAGRAM BUILT IN FILTERS FOR YOUR OWN SAKE. They do what they have to do to your picture: enhance the natural tone, simulate a film feel, fade or pop the colors as needed, and they do all that without making your photos look overly processed. There are indeed many editing apps out there, but sometimes their filters can be quite harsh and drastic, while VSCO built in filters are more subtle.
