PHOTOSHOP: Create A Vignette

CREATE A VIGNETTE

Step 1:

• To create a vignette make an oval selection of the focal point of the picture with the Elliptical Marquee tool. Next, invert the selection (Select>Inverse) so that everything else is now selected.

Step 2:

• With the selection still active choose the Feather command (Select>Modify>Feather) and input a Feather Radius value into the dialog. Click OK to continue.

Step 3:

• Now pick the Levels feature (Image>Adjustments>Levels) and drag the middle slider to the right to darken the selection area (drag the slider to the left to lighten these parts). Click OK to apply the changes.
