First, I will explain VSCO of the type to install in Adobe Lightroom.

In principle, RAW data is used when shooting.

This is because it’s easy to recover when an exposure or white balance fails. It’s hard for beginners, including myself, to change their exposure and white balance settings depending on the situation; even if they are overexposure, RAW can fix them.

I think that the function “Fade” is an effect unique to VSCO which does not exist in Instagram etc. It’s convenient to use filters, but we recommend the following steps internally.

  1. It is lowered to "-1-3" at the color temperature, and it becomes a blue image.
  2. A tint is used to adjust the color by "+1" or "-1".
  3. Finished in a matte atmosphere with “Fade” and “+4-6”.

I think that the level of photo finishing depends on personal preferences, but in order to prevent variation by each skill, retouching using VSCO will be effective. Our remote work system is not able to teach each other knowledge and skills carefully, so we are trying to unify our company by creating guidelines while using such convenient tools! We would like to find useful tools in the future and introduce them in a blog!
