A vignette gently darkens the edges and corners of a photo, drawing the eye to the center and adding depth and mood. It's a subtle, professional finishing touch for portraits, products and vintage looks — and the intensity slider lets you go from barely-there to dramatic.

Tips & ideas

Keep the vignette subtle for natural portraits, or combine it with the sepia or vintage effect for an aged-photo feel where the corners fade away.
