VSCO, formerly known as VSCO Cam, is a photography mobile app for iOS and Android devices. The app was created by Joel Flory and Greg Lutze.[4][5][6] The VSCO app allows users to capture photos in the app and edit them, using preset filters and editing tools.[7][8][9]
History
Visual Supply Company was founded by Joel Flory and Greg Lutze in California in 2011.[6][10][7] It raised $40 million from investors in May 2014.[11] In 2015, it acquired Artifact Uprising, an artisan photo album company.[12] Visual Supply Company has locations in Denver, Colorado and Oakland, California but is based at the Oakland site.[13][14] As of 2018, Visual Supply Company has $90 million in funding from investors and over 2 million users.[15]
Usage
Photos can be taken or imported from the camera roll, as well as short videos or animated GIFs (known in the app as DSCO; iOS only).[16] The user can edit their photos through various preset filters, or through the "toolkit" feature which allows finer adjustments, to fade, clarity, skin tone, tint, sharpen, saturation, contrast, temperature, exposure, and other properties.[17] Users have the option of posting their photos to their profile, where they can also add captions and hashtags. Photos can also be exported back into the camera roll or shared to other social networking services.
JPEG and raw image files can be used.[18]
