About system requirements – they tell they need 4 GB RAM on Aperture for Mac. Unfortunately, my iMac is one of the older ones, with just 2 GB. I wonder if it would work… (by the way, Aperture itself works on it).

Been wanting it for a few months now. It’s a shame you can’t trial it – and that they made more films into a different package. Would be cool to just get an update for the plug-in you bought. But I guess they want money since it’s stupid to double your stuff for free.

If anyone want to share their VSCO, or have any discounts, please please let me know. Cheers

There’s actually a lot more work put into these presets then a normal “preset”

They are custom calibrated for specific camera makes. It isn’t just some simple curves and split toning like most presets.

wow, such a big price for a few presets that you can create by your own spending 5-10 minutes :) (maybe less if you`re a pro). i think the real price for it is 5-10 bucks, no 119. :) c`mon.

If you buy one, they have a customer loyalty plan and you get a
discount on anything else from there. I forget the amount of the
discount, I want to say it was between 20% and 40%.

I have messed with color grading video with it in LR4 and I love it. I unfortunately don’t have any examples up online at the moment.

I’ve been using VSCO for months and love it. Before VSCO, I shunned all presets. These are awesome and certainly worth the money. That being said, no preset is a “one click solution”. The VSCO presets definitely need intelligent tweaking and sometimes shouldn’t be used. You can see VSCO work and real film work all over my site – http://www.hunterphotographic.com.

Funny enough – many of the examples given above don’t even look like film (Cowart), but there not meant to either.

I’ve been using the vsco presets for a while now after a recommendation from a photog whose work i really admire – they’re fantastic, and not just for the film emulation as the standard toolset is also very handy and well constructed. Worth the $$$
