How to Upload a Bunch of Photos on Vsco
I get a lot of questions about how I take and edit my pictures on bookstagram, and I figured I'd share a little tutorial on information technology since it's honestly not very hard at all! My style is pretty specific – I like bright, clean, crisp colors, and more of a coolish / blue tone to my pictures. If that'southward your thing, these editing tips will admittedly work for your pictures! If you lot're into something different, I'd totally recommend playing around with the different filters & settings offered to make your own look!
I've been using VSCO for about half dozen years now, and take loved information technology through all its updates and iterations. I use a bunch of different apps depending on the ~aesthetic~ I'm going for with the edit, but VSCO is definitely one of my about & longest used ones for sure. I use it almost exclusively for my entire bookstagram business relationship, and about of the bookish photos on my web log & Twitter, too! While I do have the paid version of the app at present, since I use information technology to edit photos for work and things professionally as well, I used thefree version of the app for over five years! Information technology's amazing, and I couldn't recommend it highly enough.
For my photo examples, I'm using Stephen Rex'southward newest, which is only pretty and colorful and I love the look of! I'm also going to include another case just for thoroughness – a photo of me wearing 1 of my favorite t-shirts, taken in my bathroom at night when the lighting was yellowish and awful. I want to prove how much the app can help your photos, fifty-fifty if you don't accept the choice to have ones with totally natural lighting (which some people tin't, due to work or life schedules, and that'southward okay!).
Hopefully this helps, but if anyone has questions, experience gratuitous to let me know in the comments! I'd also love to hear what y'all use to edit your own photos!
How I Edit My Bookstagram Photos with VSCO
1) Kickoff, download the app!
This patently simply needs to be done once (and not at all if you already use VSCO!), but it'south an of import pace, then I figured I'd include it. 😛
I do have an iPhone, so for the sake of this tips blog, all my screenshots will be from that. I'k not sure if there are userface differences between the phone types!
2) Now that we've got that, I upload my photo & enter edit fashion.
Everything within the app is super streamlined and intuitive, and I've never had any trouble navigating through the unlike menus or options. I likewise really love the clean, crisp interface – some photo editing apps accept a super nighttime look, which I don't prefer for apps that aren't totally stylized. (For example, I also use Huji Cam and don't listen the edgy look 'cause it's supposed to be an old dispensable camera, and a brighter design wouldn't make sense conceptually!)
three) Go into the actual photo settings (non the filters section – although the filters are super varied and some are really absurd!), and adjust the EXPOSURE first.
The adjustment level for this varies depending on how dark the lighting I'm using is. For midday natural lighting photos (like this one), I don't demand to go upwards too far. For the indoor lighting one, I went up but slightly higher.
iv) Slide the menu over, and adapt theSATURATION.
This makes the colors a scrap brighter, which is always the vibe I'k going for! If your colors plow a flake more xanthous, don't worry. Nosotros'll set that in the next step!
5) Finally, we're gonna cool things downward a fleck! Make your mode over to the WHITE BALANCE setting and accommodate the TEMPERATURE.
This is a crucial footstep for me, due to how specifically cool-toned I like my photos to be. You can see in the two examples here that it varies a lot, so I do this on a per-picture basis to actually go the best levels! This tool is actually, actually helpful for indoor lighting photos – usually they're super yellow, which does non look proficient.I only adapt the temperature, and not the tint, only if your photo was more reddish or greenish, yous could probably play with that a bit to help!
AND… BAM!
Hither'southward my indoor night-time lighting example, also! Same steps – Exposure, Saturation, White Residual!
I hope this helps!!
