VSCO Launches AI Lab For Photographers

VSCO is stepping further into AI-powered editing with something they are calling AI Lab, a new set of tools built to make photo editing faster and more intuitive inside the VSCO app. The first tool to launch is called Remove, which lets you erase unwanted objects from your shots using simple Brush, Tap, or Lasso selections. Another tool, Upscale, is on the way and will let users boost resolution and sharpen details without throwing off colours or textures.

At the core of AI Lab is Black Forest Lab’s FLUX.1 Context model, which VSCO has combined with its own in-house tech tuned specifically for photographers. It supports high-resolution RAW editing and automatically creates non-destructive copies so originals stay untouched. The company says the goal is not to automate creativity, but to give photographers smarter ways to handle repetitive edits and cleanup work.

AI Lab follows VSCO’s earlier experiment with VSCO Canvas, an AI mood board tool for creatives that came out earlier this year. Both are part of a larger move by the company to blend AI with traditional photography tools without losing the artistic side of image-making. AI Lab is available now in VSCO Studio for iOS, though it is limited to VSCO Pro members.
