Vignette
A Vignette darkens or lightens the edges of your image. This is quite an old technique to emphasize
the accents on photos. The effect typically leaves the central area unaffected while the edges are
shaded or lightened.

• Amount. Strengthens the darkening around the edges of photos. In position 0, the effect is
not applied. Move the slider to the left side of the picture to give more shading to the edges,

while moving the slider to right will brighten the edges.
• Size. Size of the obscured area. Moving the slider to the left will increase the area of

darkening. Moving the slider to the right will reduce the area of darkening.
• Roundness. This slider changes the shape of the shaded area.

• Feather. This slider sets the smoothness of the transition between the area of shading.

• Inner Brightness. This slider increases the brightness in the central region which is not
affected by shading. It allows you to create a contrast effect.

Note
This tool allows you to highlight key points in the photo, making it more interesting. A slight edges
shading always provokes the viewer's eye to consider the lighter central part of the photo. For a

realistic picture, don’t lower the Amount below -50. As a rule, this effect is used only with darker
shading. Highlights are rarely used except for some vintage looks.
