Frequently asked questions

What is the AI Text Prompt tool in VSCO?

AI Text Prompt is a tool inside VSCO's AI Lab that lets you edit photos using plain language descriptions instead of sliders or manual adjustments. You describe the changes you want, and AI Lab applies them to a new version of your image while keeping your original untouched. It's built for photographers who want faster, more intuitive control over their edits without giving up precision or image quality.

How does AI prompt-based photo editing work?

You describe the edit in your own words and AI Lab interprets your input and applies those changes directly to your photo. Because the AI regenerates the image based on your prompt, edits can affect the overall image rather than isolated layers, which is why specific, detailed prompts tend to produce the most accurate results.

Do AI text prompts affect image quality?

No. AI Lab preserves full resolution and fine detail. Your edits are applied without compression or quality loss, so your images stay sharp and ready for professional use.

Can I refine or retry a prompt?

Yes. You can rerun the same prompt to explore a new variation, or adjust your wording to steer the result closer to what you had in mind. Each run generates a new version of your image, so you can iterate freely, compare results, and get closer to exactly the edit you're after without starting over.

Will AI Text Prompt overwrite my original image?

No. AI Lab always creates a new version of your photo, leaving your original file untouched. You can return to it, compare edits side by side, or start fresh at any time.

What makes a good prompt?

Specific, concrete descriptions work best. Focus on what you actually want to change: "warm the highlights and add soft shadows," "make this feel like a golden hour shot," "soften the contrast and add a subtle film grain look." The more clearly you describe the lighting, tone, color, or mood you're after, the more accurate and consistent the result. Avoid vague terms, AI Lab works best when you give it something specific to work with.
