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 wasn’t until 2012 that it gained popularity. 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, free to use, and has over 100 million users. The app offers various tools to help you edit your 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 up the app, you can start editing photos right away! There are no complicated menus or settings to navigate through—everything happens right there on your phone screen (or tablet!).
The first thing that pops up when you open VSCO is the camera mode to take new photos or import ones 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 types of filters that will alter how light affects your photos in various ways.
VSCO Filters
Filters are a considerable part of VSCO. They’re what make your photos look unique, and they’re also a great way to experiment with the different ways you can edit your photos.
With so many filters to choose from, it can be overwhelming to figure out which ones to use and which ones to skip over. We’ve put together a list of our favorites, and we’re going to share them with you today!
The first filter we’re going to talk about is called Golden Hour. This filter creates an overall warm tone that makes your photos look like they were taken during golden hour—the time of day when the sun is setting or rising when 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 rexcellentlighting).
Many also love using the Valencia filter because it gives a bit more contrast than other filters while still maintaining its airy feel. This filter will help 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 itself 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 an 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.
There are two ways that people typically take screenshots: 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, then there will be no way for VSCO’s system to detect it.
While it may be true that VSCO does not notify 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 yet, then no one has taken a screenshot. However, if you see that someone has viewed your post, they also may have taken a screenshot.
Second, you can check the “Notifications” tab on your profile page. This will show you all of the notifications sent by other users within VSCO. If someone has sent you a message or commented on one of your posts or albums, then they may have also taken a screenshot of your post and sent it to you as part of their message or comment.
Thirdly (and this is 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 pcorrectly You can delete your account in one of three ways:
- Log into your account and scroll down to the bottom of the page where it says “Delete Account” and then click on it.
- You can also go to vscocam.com/deactivate, click on the link there, and then click “Deactivate Your Account” at the bottom of that page, which will take you to another page where you will find links for each app (iPhone & Android).
- Finally, if you don’t have access to any of those things where you are, simply 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 that you can use for your photos. You can also share your pictures on social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook or keep them private in your own photo library.
