@saqib The Vignette option in Lightroom is in the Develop module in the Lens Corrections panel. In Lightroom 3 you need to choose Manual to see them.

Hi.

This may be a stupid question , Please excuse me as I’m fairly new to Lightroom. I want to use the vignettes option to create a border around my picture but the thing is the ‘Vignettes’ option does on appear. The only options i can see are
basic
Tone curve
HSL/ Color/ B&W
Split Toning
Detail
Lens correction
Effects
Camera Calibration

How can i add vignettes to this list?

Can someone please help me?

Thanks
Saqib

Oh this is so great. Thanks for posting this. I had one of those “why didn’t I think of that” moment when I read the inner glow portion of the article.

As a follow up post to this tried and true method of sorting the truly creative from the uninspired gimmick abusers I suggest the next “lesson” be focused solely on the “lens flare” filter.

After that all that is missing is the post on the Tobacco and Soft Focus Cokin filters.

I use outerglow all the time but never thought to change the color to black and use it this way. I think it’s going to be me new favorite trick!

Thank you!

@Stephanie

Adjusting your levels will darken colours as opposed to masking them.

How do you do a color vignette? For example, if your sky is a light blue, I’ve seen where the corners are made a darker blue, rather than a black vignette. Thanks for your help?
