Summary

  • $500-a-year VSCO One will launch later this month, bundling Studio Pro with tools for editing, client delivery, websites and photographer mentorship in a direct push against Adobe.
  • Studio Pro rolled out on iOS today with batch editing, reference-image style matching and VSCO Galleries sharing, targeting high-volume shoots such as weddings, sports and school photography.
  • More pro features are still to come, including RAW support, advanced export options and aspect-ratio controls, while a macOS version is due later this year.
  • VSCO says the bundle is meant to replace fragmented workflows with one platform, pricing it roughly in line with an annual Adobe Creative Cloud Pro subscription.
