VSCO Film 02 Fuji Filters: The Complete Lightroom Replacement Guide

VSCO’s Fuji film presets were discontinued for good on March 31, 2026. If Superia 400, Pro 400H, or Neopan 1600 were part of your Lightroom workflow, this is your stock-by-stock replacement guide with no guesswork.

Key Takeaways:

• VSCO Film 02 included six Fuji stocks, all discontinued and unavailable for download as of March 31, 2026
• Each stock maps directly to an existing Lightroom preset you can use today
• Fuji’s green-teal shadow character is the signature of Film 02’s Fuji presets, and it only exists in analog-stock-based emulations, not camera-simulation presets
• VSCO’s Neopan 1600 was an analog film emulation, not a camera simulation. The right replacement is a pushed Neopan 400 preset
• The Classic Film Presets Collection from Legendary Presets covers every VSCO Film 02 Fuji stock in a single download

  What Were VSCO’s Fuji Film Presets?

  VSCO Film 02 was the Fuji-focused pack in VSCO’s original Lightroom preset series. It launched in 2015 alongside packs covering Kodak and black-and-white stocks, and it included six Fuji film stocks:

  • Fuji Superia 100
  • Fuji Superia 400
  • Fuji Superia 800
  • Fuji Superia 1600
  • Fuji Neopan 1600
  • Fuji Pro 400H

  These were analog film emulations, built by scanning actual rolls of each stock and profiling their color response curves. That distinction matters when you’re shopping for replacements.

  

  VSCO pulled these presets for the first time in 2019 when they shifted to a subscription mobile app. After a brief return window in February 2026, they were pulled permanently on March 31, 2026. VSCO’s own site now reads: “VSCO Film presets for Adobe Lightroom are no longer available for download.”

  If you’ve been looking for a working download link, the VSCO Film Presets Download guide covers exactly what’s available in 2026 and what your options are. For a full breakdown of why VSCO discontinued these presets, the VSCO Film Presets for Lightroom Are Gone article covers the full timeline.

  Why Fuji Presets Are Harder to Replace Than Kodak

  Most photographers go looking for “Fuji Lightroom presets” and grab the first result. The problem: a lot of what’s sold as a “Fuji preset” is actually mimicking the in-camera film simulations from a Fujifilm X-series camera (Velvia, Provia, Classic Chrome), not analog Fuji film stock.

  

  These are not the same thing.

  Fujifilm X cameras have their own internal color processing built for digital sensors and JPEG output. Analog Fuji stocks like Superia and Neopan were built on a different chemistry. Fuji’s color negative emulsions use a 4th dye-coupler layer that produces a distinctive cyan-green push in the shadows, something no digital camera simulation has fully replicated. That shadow character is exactly what made VSCO Film 02’s Fuji presets look the way they did.

  What you’re actually looking for when you replace VSCO Film 02 is analog stock emulation, not camera simulation. The specific character:

  • A slight green-teal push in the shadows
  • Warm, restrained midtones that don’t go orange
  • Clean highlight rolloff that doesn’t block up
  • Moderate saturation that stays out of the subject’s way

  That combination lives in the Fuji film presets in our catalog, built from analog stock references, not camera profiles. If you want to understand what separates the two in practical terms, the Fujifilm Lightroom Presets guide is worth reading alongside this article.

  VSCO Film Filters: Fuji Stock-by-Stock Lightroom Replacements

  Here’s every VSCO Film 02 Fuji stock mapped to its direct equivalent.

  

  Fuji Superia 100

  Superia 100 was the most color-accurate stock in VSCO Film 02’s Fuji range. It excelled in daylight: slight green bias in foliage, neutral skin tones, clean shadow rendering. Best for outdoor portraits, travel, and street shooting in good light. The Fujifilm Superia 100 preset is a direct analog-stock replacement.

  Fuji Superia 400 and Superia 800

  These were the workhorses. Superia 400 brought a touch more shadow texture than the 100, with a warmer midtone shift under artificial light. Superia 800 pushed further: looser grain, slightly flatter contrast, built for low-light street work and indoor travel.

  For both, use the Fujifilm Superia X-Tra 400 and X-Tra 800 presets from the Fuji film presets collection. If you used Superia 400 for portraits, try the 400 first. If it was street or low-light work, the 800 will feel closer.

  I wrote a detailed breakdown of the X-Tra 800’s color science and grain response here: Fujifilm Superia X-TRA 800: Color Science, Performance & Lightroom Tips.

  Fuji Superia 1600

  VSCO’s Superia 1600 was the high-speed Fuji option, the one you reached for when the light dropped. It’s the most niche of the six. The closest replacement is Fujifilm Natura 1600, which shares the same high-ISO, warm-push, loose-grain character. It’s not a 100% match, but no available stock sits closer in that speed range.

  Fuji Neopan 1600: The One Most Photographers Get Wrong

  This is the stock most people misidentify when looking for replacements.

  VSCO Neopan 1600 was Fuji’s high-speed black-and-white film: gritty, heavy grain, strong shadow contrast. When photographers search for a replacement, many land on presets based on Fuji camera monochrome simulations. Those look flat by comparison.

  The right replacement is a pushed Fujifilm Neopan 400 preset, Neopan 400 stock pushed one to two stops to simulate the grain and shadow compression of a faster emulsion. You’re emulating a lab process, not just a film name. The Fuji film presets collection includes Neopan 400 for exactly this use.

  Fuji Pro 400H

  Pro 400H was VSCO Film 02’s portrait and wedding stock. Pastel tones, lifted shadows, soft greens, and an overall coolness that worked beautifully in outdoor light at golden hour. It was the most widely used Fuji stock in the VSCO Film 02 pack among portrait and wedding photographers.

  The Fuji Pro 400H Lightroom preset is a direct replacement: same color character, same lifted shadow structure. It’s the closest one-to-one swap in this entire list.

  Looking for VSCO’s Filter-Style Presets Instead?

  If your VSCO editing was built around the filter-style presets rather than the Film 02 stocks, those have their own replacement guides. The VSCO A6 filter in Lightroom explains what the A6 look is and how to recreate it, and the VSCO M5 filter in Lightroom covers the muted fade approach.

  The Mistake Most Photographers Make When Switching

  The most common error: switching from VSCO Film 02 Fuji presets to a “Fuji-inspired” pack and wondering why it doesn’t look the same.

  Nine times out of ten, the pack they’ve downloaded is built from Fuji X-series camera simulations rather than analog film stock. It’s not a wrong product; it’s a different product for a different use case.

  Here’s a quick way to tell the difference:

  • If the product page shows sample images from Fujifilm X-T or X-S series cameras and references Classic Chrome or Provia, it’s camera-simulation-based.
  • If it references specific film stock names (Superia, Neopan, Pro 400H, Natura) and shows grain structure consistent with analog scanning, it’s stock-based.

  Stock-based presets will give you the VSCO Film 02 Fuji character you’re used to. Camera-simulation presets will not, even if they look good on their own.

  All film presets at Legendary Presets are built from analog stock references. That’s the starting point for every preset in the catalog.

  My pro tip (Richard): When switching from VSCO Film 02, test your replacement preset on the same RAW file you used when testing in VSCO. You’ll be able to compare shadow color, highlight rolloff, and grain side by side, and you’ll know immediately whether you have an analog-stock match or not.

  What Replaced VSCO Fuji Presets for Lightroom?

  VSCO Film 02’s Fuji presets were discontinued permanently on March 31, 2026 and cannot be downloaded from any authorised source. The direct Lightroom replacement for each stock is: Fujifilm Superia 100 for daylight, Superia X-Tra 400 for everyday use, Superia X-Tra 800 for low light, Fujifilm Natura 1600 for high-speed work, pushed Neopan 400 for B&W, and Fuji Pro 400H for portraits and weddings. All six are available in the Classic Film Presets Collection.

  Why I Stopped Trusting “Fuji-Style” Preset Packs After a Wedding in Portugal

  I shot a destination wedding in 2023. I’d been using VSCO Film 02 Superia 400 for the whole reception. That green-teal in the olive tree shadows, cool midday light on the white walls, everything working. Three weeks later I had to finish a second batch from the same trip using a different “Fuji-inspired” pack I’d just downloaded.

  

  I didn’t notice the difference until I was a third of the way through the gallery.

  The skin tones were slightly more orange in the midtones. The shadows trended toward purple instead of green. The preset was camera-simulation-based; the VSCO Film 02 preset it was replacing was analog-stock-based. Both looked fine in isolation. Side by side on the same couple, in the same light, one was clearly wrong.

  That was the day I stopped treating “Fuji-style” as a useful category. The distinction between stock-based and simulation-based is real, and it doesn’t show up in a product preview. It shows up in delivery.

  FAQ

  Can I still download VSCO Film 02 Fuji presets anywhere?

  No. VSCO Film presets are fully discontinued as of March 31, 2026. There is no authorised download source. Third-party sites offering these files are distributing unlicensed copies, and you have no guarantee of file integrity, format compatibility, or future support.

  Are Fuji Lightroom presets the same as Fujifilm camera film simulations?

  No. Lightroom presets that emulate analog Fuji film stock (Superia, Neopan, Pro 400H) are built from the color response of physical film scans. Fujifilm camera film simulations (Velvia, Provia, Classic Chrome) are built for digital sensors and in-camera JPEG processing. VSCO Film 02 was stock-based. Most “Fuji-inspired” preset packs sold today are simulation-based. They look different, especially in the shadows.

  What’s the difference between Superia 400 and Pro 400H?

  Superia 400 is a consumer stock: more saturated, slightly warmer greens, more contrast. Pro 400H was a professional portrait and wedding stock: cooler, softer, with lifted shadows and more neutral skin. If you shot outdoor portraits and weddings with VSCO’s Pro 400H, you want the Pro 400H replacement. If you used Superia 400 for travel and street, stick with Superia.

  Does Neopan 400 really get close to VSCO’s Neopan 1600?

  It gets close when you adjust for the speed difference. VSCO Neopan 1600 had heavier grain and more compressed shadows than a base Neopan 400. After applying the preset, increase texture slightly and reduce shadow detail to close that gap. It won’t be pixel-identical, but the overall tonal character (the grain structure, the shadow-to-midtone transition) is the same stock lineage.

  Do these replacement presets work in both Lightroom Classic and Lightroom CC?

  Yes. Film presets in XMP format work in both Lightroom Classic and the Lightroom desktop app (CC). Check the product page for format details and installation instructions.
