Vignette

The effect descriptions on this page refer to the default effects found within the post-processing stack.

In Photography, vignetting is the term used for the darkening and/or desaturating towards the edges of an image compared to the center. This is usually caused by thick or stacked filters, secondary lenses, and improper lens hoods. It is also often used for artistic effect, such as to draw focus to the center of an image.

  • Classic

  • Masked

Classic

Classic mode offers parametric controls for the position, shape and intensity of the Vignette. This is the most common way to use the effect.
