Applying Vignette Effects

A vignette darkens or lightens the edges of an image, drawing the viewer's eye toward the center. This subtle but powerful effect is one of the most used techniques in portrait and wedding photography. Dark vignettes add depth and drama, while light vignettes create a dreamy, vintage feel.

The adjustable size and intensity let you fine-tune the effect. A subtle vignette (10-20% intensity) works well for most portraits and landscapes. Stronger vignettes (30-50%) create dramatic, stylized looks suitable for artistic photography and social media content.

  • Subtle dark vignettes (10-20%) enhance most portraits and landscapes
  • Light vignettes create a dreamy, vintage Instagram aesthetic
  • Adjust size to control how far the vignette extends from edges
  • Too much vignette looks artificial — subtle is better
