With the new layer selected, draw a line over your image while holding down the left mouse button then let the mouse button go to apply the gradient. This tool will form the basic shape for our vignette, with a white centre that fades gradually into a black edge.

Once selected, go to the top toolbar and select the Gradient option second from the left which shows a faded circle sat in a rectangle. Where you paint over will show up in the Layer Mask. Then with a fairly large brush, paint over the parts of the image you want to bring back through. Select the Brush tool, making sure the foreground colour is set to black and adjust its opacity and flow so it's not as strong. To create a layer mask, click on the icon which has a circle sat in a rectangle in it at the bottom of the Layers Palette. We now have a vignette circling the edge of our image, however if you think the effect is a little strong in places you can use a Layer Mask (which we mentioned previously) to help rectify this. Once you're happy with your changes, hit OK. By adjusting the midpoint slider the size of the vignette will grow / shrink depending on which way you drag the slider. We want quite a dark vignette to add mood to the shot so have pushed the slider quite a way to the left. We're actually interested in the 'Custom' settings so click this tab to switch from the 'Auto Correction' options (we're using PS CS5) and half way down the 'Custom' list you'll see the vignette options.īy moving the 'Vignette Amount' slider to the left you'll darken the vignette while moving it to the right will lighten it. If there's a gird over your image, untick 'Show Grid' and it'll be removed. In this new window, you'll see various controls and a preview of our image so we can see how the changes will affect it (tick 'preview' if you can't see this). Next, go to Filter > Lens Correction and a new window will open. We do this so we always have the original image to go back to and we can also apply a Layer Mask to the layer we are going to change to 'paint' back some of the original layer back through on to the altered layer if we need to later on.

How To Create A Vignette With Lens Correctionįirst, duplicate your layer by either dragging the original layer over the new layer icon (circled in red on the image below) or by going to Layer>Duplicate Layer. Here's the image with the 'Marquee tool' vignette applied: To apply the Brightness / Contrast adjustment go to: Image > Adjustments > Brightness / Contrast or click on the black & white circle found at the bottom of the layer's panel and select it from the list that pops up. To create the vignette you can make a Brightness / Contrast adjustment and simply drag the brightness slider to the right to darken the selection or the opposite way for a light vignette. Next, go to Select > Inverse and the selection will switch so the outside of the image is now selected so when we apply the adjustment, the outside of the image will be the part that changes, adding a subtle frame to the shot. Once you let go the selection will look like it's moving, this means we are ready for the next step. To draw out your shape press and hold your mouse button while you drag your shape out over the image. To further smooth the selection when using the Elliptical Marquee tool make sure anti-aliased is ticked next to where you input a figure to change the feather options. If it's a small file set a radius of around 50-100 pixels, if it's a large file set a larger radius. The amount you enter in the Feather Radius box depends on the size of the file.

In other words, it blurs it slightly, making the transition between the selected and none selected areas more smooth and not as obvious. By inputting a value here you will basically soften your selection so the edges aren't as straight and harsh. Select a Marquee tool, the Elliptical Marquee tool works best, and in the top toolbar find the Feather option. The most common way of creating a vignette is with the Marquee tool which you then feather, inverse and darken the selected area to create your vignette. How To Create A Vignette With The Marquee Tool You can use the below list to jump to a specific method or have a read through the whole article if you're unsure which method's best for you. Vignettes are rather straightforward things to create and add to an image but there are various methods you can use to create one so, for this reason, we're sharing four methods that can be used to create a vignette successfully in Photoshop.
