I also felt this pack worked better with overexposed images versus perfect exposure or under exposed images which was a bummer because I tend to always underexpose my images so that I don’t lose my highlights. Most of the time, however, I tone them down. With most VSCO presets I found them contrast heavy which in some cases, I don’t mind. I wouldn’t typically cross process any of my images but some of these looked really great. With proper exposure I found that the cross processed films looked awesome. With some tweaks and comparisons to some actual film I had it pretty dead on. Then I moved to Fuji 400H, I realized with this preset it was pretty spot on for the real look of Fuji’s film.

Portra 160*1 + emulated a look I really sought after for a while. Upon buying I immediately went to my standard Portra 160, which is my staple go to preset which I edit 90% of my work with.

You could imagine my excitement when I found out VSCO was releasing a pack on specifically pushing and pulling. You can read more about pushing and pulling here, if you are curious.
VSCO PRESETS REVIEW ISO
Pushing is to rate the film a higher ISO and pulling is to rate it lower. Pushing and Pulling film is something that is done during the taking and/or developing process of film. If you dig lomography this is something that might appeal to you.Ĭross processing is a technique where you can place c-41 film in E-6 developer to create color distortion in an image and taking E-6 negatives and developing them in C-41 to get exciting, very different colorful images. The films are cross processed, pushed and pulled to give a unique effect.

Pack 06 is based on some of today’s modern films that are still used actively amongst analog shooters. When I made the switch to digital photography all I wanted was my work to still resemble the quality and look that film gave me, I struggled with this for awhile and then VSCO appeared. Many of their presets emulate films I love and films that are no longer available. Some asked me to give my opinion on it, so here I am with my terrible writing trying to give my opinion on this.Ĭoming from a primarily analog background, VSCO has always appealed to me. VSCO came out with a new preset pack this week ( 06) and it is pretty and fabulous.
