i did 2 different versions. ones a little darker than the other.

i used to have plugins for vignettes, but i dont have them anymore. now when i make them, i do it one corner at a time on a transparent layer, and then just mirror and flip the vignette when it looks good to go on the other corners. that way the corners all match and line up good.





let me know if you want one either darker or lighter, or if you like one of the ones i posted, and ill post the larger version of it for you.

If you are shooting RAW, you can do it in PS when you first open the file under the lens tab.

EFERGOH: I was shooting with my Canon A610, so definetly wasn't RAW! lol

John: Thanks man! I like one with less, and in fact, I'd probably like it LESS than that even! Ill give that a shot on Photoshop, but I really am so photoshop-dumb.

Thanks!

Here is my attempt.

Big Mike, a little reverse action... I like it, although it's still a little much for what I was trying to achieve.

Awesome though.

heres 2 more versions. both have a lighter vignette and the first one has a very slight blur, the second has a bit more blur and the vignette is offset to the left a little instead of being centered.

Just use the burn tool and switch to the highlights mode

That's what I would do, too. Vignettes are tricky, and if you're only looking for a tiny effect, burning will look a lot better.
