Vintage Looks
Replicate the low contrast look of black and white newspaper and old photographic prints by adding a touch of fade. Complete your edit with our full suite of effects, tools, and presets.
Muted shadows
Fade creatively compresses the dynamic range of photos and videos. Watch as dark shadows and tones transform from deep black to muted gray as you move the slider.
Soften highlights
In addition to muting shadows, fade can also be used to target bright highlights. Blown out or overexposed images can be softened from stark white to a more subtle tone.
Combine with Film FX
With its vintage roots, fade combines flawlessly with VSCO’s Film FX. Complement your edit by adding some light leaks, a film frame, or unique distressed textures.
How to Fade an Image
Capture or import photos or videos with the VSCO mobile app and use the photo editor to access the Fade tool. Use the slider to adjust and customize your look. Try adding a preset to finish your edit before exporting or publishing to your profile.
