Adding a Post-Crop Vignette

Use the Post-Crop Vignette effect to add a frame around a subject, or control the appearance of the border. Use the Post-Crop Vignette tool after an image is cropped to give more control over the focal point of the image.

Settings can be set as a preset for future use.

To apply a Vignette Effect:

  1. In the Develop Tools pane, select the Tune tab.
  2. In the Post-Crop Vignette group, make adjustments as described below.

Right-click a slider to reset to the default value.

Post-Crop Vignette Options

Strength

Drag the slider to the right to add a white vignette, or drag to the left to add a black vignette.

Radius

Adjusts the distance from the corners of the image where the pixels will be softened. The higher the radius, the further from the center the pixels will be before the softening begins.

Feathering

Feathering controls how soft or hard the edge of the vignette is. Drag the slider to the right to increase the softness of the vignette transition.

Roundness

Drag the slider to the right to increase the roundness of the vignette, or to the left to make it more rectangular.
