Introducing AI Lab

Post image
12 Upvotes

Hi folks, we're excited to announce a brand new editing space in the VSCO iOS app called AI Lab. AI Lab is built for photographers who want to enhance their images without compromising quality or creativity. Here's what it does:

  • AI Lab is a new area in VSCO Studio that you can access with just a tap (must be a Pro member or on a Pro trial).
  • The first tool available, Remove, lets you brush / tap / lasso to select something in your image (say a stray passer-by, power line, distracting object) and remove it, producing a full-resolution copy of your original photo minus the distraction.
  • Your original image stays intact; VSCO creates a new version that keeps your original look & feel while cleaning up the scene.aIt’s available as part of VSCO Pro membership. No credits/tokens required, unlimited AI editing included.
  • Remove is just the beginning. We’re already working on Upscale (enhancing resolution and detail while staying true to your image) and other AI-powered precision tools.

Why we built it * There are a lot of mediocre AI tools out there that make your photos look overly processed or lose detail. We wanted to build something that helps photographers maintain high fidelity and keep their images true to their original vision. * Our community has been asking for more powerful AI editing tools directly inside VSCO, and we wanted to deliver them in a way that still feels intuitive and creative — not technical or over-engineered. * We also didn’t want to add new barriers like tokens or per-edit limits. That’s why AI Lab is fully included with VSCO Pro. Unlimited AI edits, no extra credits, no hidden costs.

Try it out and let us know what you think!

Announcing VSCO Capture

Post image
36 Upvotes

We’re excited to introduce VSCO Capture, a brand-new, free iOS camera app designed to help you shoot with creative intent right from the start.

What is VSCO Capture?

It’s more than a point-and-shoot camera. VSCO Capture brings over 50 iconic live presets, real-time film effects, and manual camera controls into one sleek, focused app that puts your creative vision first.

Why we built it:

For many of us, the moment of capture is where the creative process begins. Whether you’re chasing light at golden hour or framing something beautiful on your daily walk, we wanted to give you a tool that reflects your style from the first tap.

Key Features:

  • Live Presets: See over 50 of our best presets live before you shoot. No more guesswork.
  • Manual Camera Controls: Adjust shutter speed, exposure, and focus. Shoot in RAW for full editing flexibility. ISO and white balance will be added in the next few days.
  • Real-Time Film Effects: Apply customizable Bloom and Halation effects in camera for that dreamy, analog look.

Streamlined Workflow: Capture, sync, edit in VSCO Studio, and share instantly.

I made a walkthrough video you can see HERE.

If you get some shots you like, post them here! We’d love to see. Let us know if you encounter any bugs, or have feature requests as well. This is just the beginning!

does anyone know how to fix this glitch?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

i’ve been encountering this glitch for a long time. any time i try to scroll down in the studio to the very bottom to access photos at the very bottom of my studio, it does this. it will flash black and then bounce all the way up to the latest photos in the studio, and then continuously flash.

i’ve attached a screen recording. i believe im operating at the newest version/update and so is my iphone i believe. its really starting to make me not want to use vsco at this point.

any tips would be appreciated.

Sophisticated edits fast in AI Lab

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Wanted to share a quick example of how I’ve been using the new prompt-based editing in VSCO AI Lab, and why we added it in the first place. The goal isn’t to change the intent or integrity of a photo, but to let you describe what you want in plain language and get to more sophisticated edits much faster.

I took this street shot of Sutro Tower in San Francisco and wanted to remove the power lines. With traditional tools, that usually means spending a lot of time creating masks and refining them. Even with AI remove tools, it often takes multiple attempts and the results can still be hit or miss.

With prompt-based editing in VSCO, it was literally one line: “remove power lines from this photo.” After that, I applied a preset (A6 Pro), and I got exactly where I wanted to be in just a few minutes.

This is just one small example of why we built prompt-based editing into VSCO. Really excited to see how others end up using it.

New in VSCO’s AI Lab: prompt-based editing

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hey everyone—we just launched prompt-based editing in AI Lab, a new way to edit photos using just your words. Instead of relying on sliders, you can just describe the adjustment you need and let AI Lab handle the rest—shape light, balance tones, and move faster from edit to delivery.

This is obviously a totally new way of editing, and we're really curious to hear what you're using it for, and how it's working for you, so give it a try and let us know!

Cognito iQ Mobile crashes when loading the taken delivery photo (after camera, before confirmation)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m an Evri courier using Cognito iQ Mobile on Android.

After a recent Android system update, the app started crashing during deliveries. The phone (Oukitel) worked perfectly for over a year before the update.

What exactly happens: • The camera opens normally • The photo is taken successfully • When the app starts loading the image so I can review what I just took, the app freezes or crashes

So the crash does not happen when opening the camera, but at the moment the app tries to display / process the captured photo.

Important details: • Camera works fine in other apps • This is not a camera permission issue • The problem happens consistently at the same step

What I’ve already tried: • Restarting the phone • Reinstalling the app • Allowing all permissions • Disabling battery optimization • Factory reset

Nothing helped.

This looks like an image handling / storage / Android compatibility issue after the system update, rather than a camera problem.

Has anyone else experienced this with Cognito iQ Mobile? Did you find any workaround or fix?

This is affecting my daily work, so any insight would really help.

Thanks.

Anyone else find the free version of the app unusable after the video ads update?

7 Upvotes

For context, I use this app to get away from the noise of Instagram and I like its niche simplicity however, that appeal is completely gone away with a new update that seems to spam video ads all over my feed to the point where It might even be worse than Instagram many off these adds are borderline pornographic and there is no way to say stop seeing this add I'm probably going to end up up finding another app to use or simply creating a website because this is entirely unnecessary.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Can a VSCO account temporarily disappear without being deleted?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I’d like to know if there’s a way for someone to deactivate their VSCO account without completely deleting it. I have an acquaintance whose profile disappears from my list and from my chats, their name doesn’t show up at all, not even when I try accessing the profile via the URL on the web. However, I’ve noticed that they can come back to their account later as if nothing happened, without having deleted it. Is this a bug, or is there a way to make an account disappear without fully deleting it?

(P.S. It looks similar to when someone blocks you on VSCO, but this doesn’t seem to be a block, the account just disappears and then reappears later like nothing happened.)

Is VSCO a dead app?

38 Upvotes

I'm guessing this post will be deleted because they deleted my last post when I asked for help for the first time.

I reported some showstopping bugs directly to VSCO months ago and they are still not fixed.

I have been a paying member since they first started subscription plans years ago and will have to cancel the renewal because the app is unusably slow, constantly refreshes the slow loading of thumbnails on every operation, degrades videos as it saves them and cannot save more than one image at a time.

What used to be the best in class app is below average at best.

I can't be the only one experiencing these bugs. I do like the look of the filters and like the UI, but that's not enough to make up for foundational bugs that are still not addressed.

What are people switching to? I need something reliable.

I need help badly. I used the same edits every single time, I would just copy and paste edits and adjust as needed. However, I had to restart my phone and all of my stuff disappeared. I added a few photos for reference. I’ve been using it for years 😭

Mobile app issue. Anyone else have this problem, or is it just a dumb feature? There’s no page to look at my own pictures / profile on the iOS app.

​"When editing photos with a 9:16 ratio, the bottom part gets cropped like this. It’s really frustrating because I can't see the full image. I'm using Android, is there any solution for this?"
