How to vignette

[Gem]

I hope I spelled that right

I tried looking for tutorials online but was hard pressed to find one. Could someone please explain to me, how to do this? Thank you!

Do you mean vignette Gem? I know a vinaigrette as a salad dressing - 1 part vinegar to one part oil, w/ seasonings and flavour...

LOL, yes! I always think "vinaigrette"

No, but I can do the "Crouton Boogie".

Can't remember if you said you have PS or not, but it can be found in the filters of that app.

Hmmm, at least I thought it could. I just fired up PS7 and looked for it, but couldn't find it. Maybe I saw it in one of the sets of plug-ins I downloaded. I'll have to dig deeper.

There are *loads* of ways to vignette in PS...

There is no "Vignette" filter, though.

For me it's in

Filter - Distort - Lens Correction... hope that helps

I found it. I was looking on my laptop, when I should have been looking on an old desktop in another room.

It’s in a set of plug-ins from Xero.

In the darkroom this used to be done by holding an opaque material with a circle or oval cut out during the exposure.

You also achieve another version of vignetting just by burning the 4 sides of an image in the darkroom or in photoshop....or use an action - filter etc.

i hope this helps.

choose the eliptical marquee and while pressing the alt (option for macs) click on the center of the photo and drag until you've occupied the entire image except the four corners. you have now a selection and press Q to transform it into a quick mask. then choose gaussian blur and blur the mask until the edges are soft. press Q again to revert back to the selection. next pres shift + ctrl + i (shift + command + i for macs) to inverse the selection. then you can adjust with levels or curves to darken the four corners

Thanks, everyone. I'll give the eliptical marquee way a shot.
