VSCO is a photo editing application that has become very popular among photographers, bloggers, and social media users.
It was initially launched in 2011, but it didn’t gain popularity until 2012. In 2013, the app reached 1 million downloads, and by 2014, it had reached 10 million downloads. In 2016, VSCO reached 100 million downloads worldwide.
What is the VSCO app?
The VSCO app is a photo editing and sharing app that has taken the world by storm. It’s free to download and use and has over 100 million users. The app offers various tools to help you edit photos and create beautiful images from your phone or tablet.
VSCO’s goal is to help you create beautiful photos with an authentic feel. As soon as you open the app, you can edit pictures immediately! There are no complicated menus or settings to navigate—everything happens on your phone screen (or tablet!).
The first thing that pops up when you open VSCO is the camera mode to take or import new photos from your library. After you’ve taken a photo or imported one from your library, the next step is adjusting it using the tools provided within each filter category: Lightroom (the first one), Film Lab (the second), Creative Lab (the third), Basic Lab (the fourth), and Darkroom (the last). Each filter category contains different filters that will alter how light affects your photos in various ways.
VSCO Filters
Filters are a considerable part of VSCO. They make your photos look unique, and they’re also a great way to experiment with different editing techniques.
With so many filters, it can be overwhelming to figure out which ones to use and which to skip over. We’ve put together a list of our favorites and will share them with you today!
The first filter we’re going to discuss is Golden Hour. This filter creates an overall warm tone that makes your photos look like they were taken during golden hour—when the sun is setting or rising, and there’s just enough light for everything around you to glow in rich shades of yellow and orange. This filter is perfect for taking photos outdoors during daylight hours (or indoors if you have excellent lighting).
Many also love using the Valencia filter because it provides a bit more contrast than other filters while still maintaining its airy feel. This filter helps bring out details in shadows while also adding definition where there might not have been any before—great for portrait photography!
Another one of our favorites is called X-Pro II, which adds depth and texture while keeping things sharp.
You may discover more filters by downloading and installing the application and exploring the contents.
Does VSCO notify screenshots?
VSCO does not notify screenshots. You cannot know if someone has taken a screenshot of your post. However, VSCO will tell you if someone republishes or favorites your images.
VSCO doesn’t have the option to turn on notifications when someone takes a screenshot of your profile, so if you want to know when someone has taken a screenshot of your photos or posts, you’ll have to watch for them yourself.
People typically take screenshots in two ways: by pressing the power and home buttons at the same time or by using their phone’s volume buttons. If someone takes a screenshot of your profile using these methods, VSCO’s system will not be able to detect it.
While it may be true that VSCO does not notify you that screenshots have been taken, there are a few ways to find out if someone took a screenshot of your post.
First, you can check the “Views” tab on your post. If no one has viewed it, no one has taken a screenshot. However, if you see that someone has viewed your post, they also may have taken a screenshot.
Second, check the “Notifications” tab on your profile page. This will show you all of the notifications other users send within VSCO. If someone has sent you a message or commented on one of your posts or albums, they may have taken a screenshot of your post and sent it to you as part of their message or comment.
Thirdly (and probably the most obvious), when someone takes a screenshot of one of your posts or albums and sends it back to you (via private message or comment), it will appear in their Notifications tab along with all other messages from other users.
How to delete the VSCO account?
Deleting a VSCO account is quite simple if you follow the instructions correctly. You can delete your account in one of three ways:
- Log into your account, scroll to the bottom of the page where it says”Delete Account,” and click on it.
- You can also go to vscocam.com/deactivate, click on the link, and then click” Deactivate Your Account” at the bottom of that page. This will take you to another page where you will find links for each app (iPhone and Android).
- Finally, if you don’t have access to any of those things where you are, write an email to support@vsco.co with the subject line” Delete My Account” and let them know why you are deleting your account so that they can see what they can do to help speed up the process for you!
Conclusion
In conclusion, VSCO is an excellent tool for anyone who loves photography and wants to express themselves through art. It’s perfect for people who don’t know much about photography but have a lot of creativity to share.
The app is free, easy to use, and gives you access to a massive gallery of filters and effects for your photos. You can also share your pictures on social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook or keep them private in your photo library.
