It’s been nearly two months since I started using VSCO Film 02 to edit my X-Pro1 RAW files. My favorite preset, without a doubt, is Fuji Superia and its many variations. As good as the Superia presets are however, I still missed the Provia, Velvia, and Astia simulation modes of the X100 and X-Pro1. Well, it looks like I no longer have to choose between shooting in RAW and using the film modes because VSCO just released their slide film presets, VSCO Film 04, which includes emulations of these three films. 

Since I just purchased VSCO Film 04 yesterday, I haven’t had much time to work with the presets yet. I will say this though, if you’re using one of the newer Fujifilm X Series cameras and have been on the fence about VSCO, these are probably the presets to get. With that, I’ll leave you with two images I made in San Francisco edited using the Provia, Velvia, and Astia presets.

      Hi Jeff, no I didn’t consider Alien Skin before purchasing VSCO Film 04. I’ve heard good things about their software but have never tried it. Do you have any experience with it?
