VSCO Preset Converter

Convert camera-specific VSCO Film presets to work with any modern raw format (CR3, ARW, NEF, RAF, etc.) by replacing custom camera profiles with Adobe Standard.

Why?

VSCO Film presets were built for specific camera models and use custom DCP profiles that don't exist for newer cameras. This tool converts them to use Adobe Standard profile, which works universally.

Quick Start

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Convert Canon presets for CR3 compatibility
npx tsx scripts/convert_vsco_presets.ts --source data/VSCO_CANON --output data/VSCO_CANON_CR3

# Convert Sony presets for ARW compatibility  
npx tsx scripts/convert_vsco_presets.ts --source data/VSCO_SONY --output data/VSCO_SONY_ARW

# Convert Nikon presets for NEF compatibility
npx tsx scripts/convert_vsco_presets.ts --source data/VSCO_NIKON --output data/VSCO_NIKON_NEF
