Re: ... a LOT more details about VSCO, the hack, and example photos!

VSCO regularly updates all their VSCO Film sets. The latest versions use custom Camera Profiles for specific camera models to better create the film effect that VSCO is out to emulate.

For example, go to the bottom of this page to look at all current supported camera models for VSCO Film 01: http://vsco.co/film/01/lightroom4

If you purchased any of their sets, the updates to those sets should be FREE!

Below you can see the VSCO Camera Profile that automatically gets loaded when I select the Fuji 160C for Olympus camera.

If you don't hack and you don't have a supported camera model, you can still use the Olympus VSCO presets, but the Camera Profile will stay at Adobe Standard.

The difference between an Olympus VSCO preset that uses the Adobe Standard profile and a custom VSCO Camera Profile is significant.

This is an old post but this information was so helpful to me.  Thanks!!  I've been struggling to get VSCO up and running to my likings, but this explanation has helped a lot.
