Film X

Initially, I thought that was all you got, but I later found out there's also something called Film X. What exactly is Film X? Well, it's an advanced editing tool. It allows you to change strength, character, and warmth after picking a preset. I played with the warmth control a bit, which came in handy for the portrait of my girlfriend, but other than that I didn't find the tools game-changing... However, this may change when I actually edit a picture from my iPhone 7.

So is VSCO X worth it? I think so, at least for photographers who shoot mobile as a priority. If you're someone with a DLSR and Lightroom then you may find these additional tools unnecessary, but again, if you're someone who shoots exclusively with their iPhone or Google Pixel (you shouldn't own any other phone) then I could see this subscription helping you substantially. At the end of the VSCO's classic presets are valued way beyond $20, so if you own a few of them then this is your chance to load up at a very low price... If only they made something like this for the desktop.

Here's a few FAQ from the VSCO website, hopefully, this will cover anything I may have missed in the article. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave them below! For those who need an invite to VSCO X let me know, I only have a few to give away so if you ask, be prepared to sign up!
