Previously I published a video overview of the new VSCO Film preset package for Lightroom. The video got a great response, and thank you everyone for watching. Since that time, a new version of Lightroom and VSCO have been released. In the original video overview, I mentioned a couple key points about VSCO Film that I didn’t like, one being that it affects sharpening settings. I also noted an easy solution to this problem. Since that time, viewers have asked for a follow-up video demonstrating the solution.
So today we have a brief follow-up video which demonstrates how to mix VSCO Film presets with your own custom settings in Lightroom. In essence, we create a new preset after applying our favorite VSCO film emulsion and tweaking to match our desires. Creating a custom preset tailored to your style and workflow will help to reduce the time you spend editing, and get you back to shooting.
So that was my Sunday – quickly followed by a beer. I hope everyone enjoyed the video. Looking forward, the next item on my list is a post about VSCO recipes that I use. In essence, it will be a post showing example photos and the settings I used to create them. That’s all for today. Definitely stop back soon as I will have a lot more content coming quickly.

Thanks, Hunter, this is super helpful. I got the camera raw version and your other video did help me. Appreciate you taking the time to help others...

Hello Hunter,
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! It was very helpful!!
I purchased VSCO Film a few days ago, and while I love it, I am still spending a lot of time sampling the different film versions on each photo. (I love the look of film, but I must admit that I've never shot with it and don't have a great understanding of the different characteristics of each film type.)
From my understanding, there are ways to predict which film type will look best with certain types of photos. I've been looking for a tutorial on that subject, but can't seem to find one. Should you ever get the inclination to blog about how you know which film to choose, that would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks again,
Bethany
