![]() Why go through all the trouble? Consistency. The presets themselves are also split into Nikon Pro, Canon Pro and Fuji Pro (with the latest FILM 01 release), as well as Standard that should work sufficiently well with all Lightroom-supported models. If you shoot Nikon D800, after using a VSCO FILM preset the Camera Profile will be changed to a custom VSCO Nikon D800 profile within Lightroom. VSCO FILM comes with special camera profiles that are meant for a specific camera maker and model. Camera profiles that come with VSCO FILM presets are where the brilliance lies. ![]() This sort of complexity is only half the story. For example, the Tone Curve is set in all modes separately, which means you get four different adjustments – RGB (Master Curve) and then also Red, Green and Blue Curve adjustments. Yes, all of these presets rely heavily on the usual tools such as the already mentioned HSL panel and Tone Curve in Lightroom. However, unlike most other presets you can download from the Internet (often for free), VSCO goes beyond your regular sliders and curves. All of them are based on current and classic films, such as Kodak Portra and Ilford HP5 (two of my favorite films), and can be used with a number of software tools (more about that later). VSCO FILM is a set of presets and camera profiles developed by this company that you can use to achieve a specific image look. Visual Supply Co, better known simply as VSCO, is a small company that is “passionate about creating beautiful and efficient digital tools for the modern creative”, as they state themselves. Visual Supply Co came up with a breathtaking answer. But Lightroom, despite all the frustrating bits…just clicked. Mind you, I am not Adobe’s spokesperson and would never promote their product like that without good reason. If previously, I considered using professional post-production services just to save time, Lightroom made the whole process hassle-free and I could do everything myself. All in one place with no permanent, destructive changes – it was a revelation. Ever since I made a switch from Photoshop to Lightroom, I’ve been looking back awestruck at how easy and quick my post-processing has become. Nothing else feels quite like it – so bizarre and, at the same time, so obvious, you can’t help but smile as broadly as you possibly can. You read a book, watch a movie, start a project, fall in love, get a job you never knew you wanted – click, click, click. You meet a new client or a friend and it feels as if you were meant to work together or help each other. You know how things sometimes just… click together? You hear a new soundtrack and, out of nowhere, it takes you away.
