Recently notice some beautiful photos with dark corner near edges. I thought it is DSLR filter effect. Wonder which type of filter could produce such nice effect to emphasize the theme?

I don’t know it is software tricks until I read Photoshop tutorial to create the effect with a few steps. I’m using Adobe Photoshop CS4 to create the effect.

Create Photo Vignette Effect

I create the effect just in 4 steps:

1) Open your photo >  select Rectangular Marquee Tool > highlight your object.

2) Right click on the Photo > choose Select Inverse > Press “Q” on keyboard

3) Click Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur, set to 62 pixels.

4) Press Q again (do not click on photo or anywhere at this point). Select Image > Adjustments > Levels, set your desire Output Level to left (smaller value means darker)

Want to see the differences between original photo and vignette photo? The 2nd Purple Flower with vignette effect produce better contrast and outstanding object for eye viewing pleasure.
