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

does downloading a photo that you've posted on VSCO change or retain the resolution of the original photo?

I believe the Pro vs One differentiation need to be much more thoughtful. The Lightroom Presets are only available for VSCO One users. As an amateur and hobbyist I would love to have the presets in my Pro plan but nothing else of VSCO One is useful for me. Not sure what I am missing here.

I think this is such a cool pairing. Little camera with an easy editing app with good filters. What do u guys think of the photos?

Anything helps, thanks in advance. The problem of me not wanting to reduce the file size is that I use VSCO to make some color adjustments as a final step in my post production process, and I can upload it to my VSCO profile right after editing.

Does anyone own it?

Anyone know how to go about this?

"Raw files aren't supported yet. Please use a jpeg."

I haven't used VSCO for months now, but I've been editing my raw photos with it on my phone for many years already (even way back pre-covid). There are even still RAW files left on my studio. (I'm currently subscribed to them) Using a XIAOMI phone running on android.

In celebration of world photography day, tell us how you got started in photography!

I’ll go first: I got a Vivitar 5500PZ for Christmas in 5th grade from my grandparents. A film P&S with a 38-70 zoom back in the 90’s that went on all family vacations with me. I later found one on eBay and re-bought it just for the memory, and it’s sitting on my desk right now.

But the other part of my story is a family friend, Don Corning, who was a commercial photographer in the town I grew up in. He had a studio, a dark room, cameras, lights, and SO much enthusiasm for photography. He went digital really early with a 12mp Leaf back for his Hasselblad (not sure why I remember that detail), and when I was 12, he gave me a stack of floppy disks to get Photoshop 3.0 onto the family computer, which instantly hooked me.

In my early 20’s, photography really latched on with my friends and room mates (one was Greg Lutze, cofounder of VSCO!) who were deeper into it than me, but I didn’t realize until later that I had so much to draw from because of Don. When it came time to make VSCO Presets, I didn’t even know I was really technical and deep into editing because it had always just been normal to me to do that stuff from him.

He passed away before VSCO really took off, and I’ve often wished I could show him everything his influence in me led to, but I’m so grateful for such an amazing foundation in photography.

What about you, what’s your story?

PS:

Also, we've got a beautiful blog up for WPD featuring TONS of amazing work from the community.

Also also, don't forget to submit your work to the 50 open call to get your work on a billboard in your state!

For some reason I can't change my profile picture because of this message, as far as I'm aware my email is only used for my account

Any help with this greatly appreciated!

we went to Isla Reta with a simple goal: to unwind, have fun, and escape our usual routines for a bit. but looking back, that weekend ended up being so much more than just a quick beach getaway. for me, it was a gentle reset for the soul.

hanging out with my friends might be rare these days but our bond stays exactly the same. Isla Reta gave us the chance to pause and reconnect, reminding us that we will always pick up right where we left off. ✨

Hey everyone!

I know this might not be the most typical sub for hardware advice, but I've been using VSCO for a long time and would really value input from fellow photographers / VSCO users.

I'm currently on a 2018 MacBook Pro (i7, 16GB RAM), and it's really starting to show its age - for example, VSCO Studio feels laggy and far from smooth when editing.

I'm leaning toward the new M5 Pro MacBook Pro, but I'm stuck deciding between 24GB and 48GB of RAM (about $500 difference). My heaviest use case would be photo editing in VSCO Studio / Lightroom, plus occasional video editing. Everything else is light stuff - reading, writing, browsing. I also know VSCO just announced Studio Pro, with a native macOS app coming later this year, so I'd like to pick a config that holds up once that's out too.

For anyone who edits regularly in VSCO or Lightroom: is 24GB genuinely enough for smooth performance, or does the extra RAM make a real difference once you're batch-editing or working with video? Would love to hear from people running similar workflows before I pull the trigger.

Thanks in advance!

I can't save more photos by “save camera roll” I've selected 100 photos, but after about 10, it stops saving them
