How to Create & Add a Vignette (shaded border)

  • In this video I’ll cover a pretty simple technique to add a vignette to the border of any of your photos. It’s not hard, but as usual don’t let the simplicity fool you. It’s a great technique! :)

    This video goes for 3:08 minutes – It’s quick, It’s easy and even my 93 year old Granny can do it!

    Ah… just when I thought I knew it all! The Photoshop Sensei opens my mind to how little I know!

    Never thought of using Adjustment Layers. Always used to just Delete (for white vignettes), Undo if I didn’t like it, re-select, Delete again…!

    Thanks!

    As you say at the outset there are other methods but this one is not only simpler than the others I have tried but it also gives extremely good results. Another Goldberg Great.

    This was one of the first lessons I learned in Photoshop but using the fill tool in the inverted selection. This method is more versatile. Thanks
