Black Edges on top corners

[echoyjeff222]

Not sure if this is because of lighting, but the top two edges on my photo are darkened, like a vignette (straight out of the camera). Does anyone know what this is caused by, and how I can fix it (step by step?)

Thanks!


Also, is there any way to locally increase brightness in an image? I have an image that is a reflection, but the sky is a lot brighter than the foreground. I'm not quite familiar with masks, so maybe someone could direct me to a good tutorial on that?

well, I sort of cheated and fixed the first problem by just using the clone stamp tool, LOL.

I also selected just the bottom and feathered it, then increased using curves. Is that the best way?

It could be from a lens hood, or from the lens itself.

You'll need to provide more info - camera, lens, etc.

A picture would worth a go-zillion words.

I get this sometime with my Tamron 18-270 when its at maximum focal zoom of 270mm. I use No filters but just a pedal hood and get dark edges of all 4 corners depending on lighting condition so that's probably light fall off. I only see it at high shutter speeds, again depending on lighting conditions. I don't have the original but this image I had it in all 4 corners of dead space so I just crop it out and be done with it. I would have cropped anyways and as long as it don't directly affect the image you can work around it.
