VSCO, the popular photo-editing and social media app, is planning to release its own camera software for iPhones, as it joins a growing wave of third-party developers offering an alternative to Apple Inc.’s own camera experience.

The app, called Capture, will let users choose between a selection of VSCO’s signature film-style presets before taking a photo, reducing the need for editing and making it faster to share images to platforms like Instagram and VSCO’s own social network.
