VSCO Capture takes the live filters and film-style effects from the powerhouse photo editor and puts them in a standalone camera app so you can shape your shot in real time.

What we love: Get a live preview of over 50 presets, many of which meticulously replicate the look of old-school film, as you’re shooting photos or video. Simple sliders let you adjust the intensity on the fly.

Quick tip: Manual mode unveils a full suite of tools, including two especially cool film-inspired effects: Bloom adds a dreamy haze, while Halation artfully accentuates red and orange highlights.

Meet the creator: Capture was built by a team of photographers who obsessed over the details. “Add Capture to your Action button or Lock Screen for one-tap access, so you’ll never miss a shot,” says VSCO CTO Chris Haire.
