How Do You Create a Vignette in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 1:41 am

Vignettes are a great way to add a touch of class to your photos. They can be used to add depth and dimension to an image, or to make a photo look more artsy. Vignettes can be created in Photoshop with a few simple steps:

1. Open your photo in Photoshop.

2. Create a new layer by clicking on the “Create a new layer” icon at the bottom of the Layers panel.

3. Choose your desired vignette shape from the options in the “Custom Shape” menu. If you want a traditional vignette, choose the “Ellipse” shape.

4. Drag your chosen shape onto your photo.

5. Go to “Edit > Transform > Warp.” This will allow you to change the shape of your vignette.

6. Use the warp tool to make your vignette as big or small as you want it. You can also use this tool to make your vignette more oval or rectangular in shape, if you desire.

7. Once you’re happy with the shape of your vignette, go to “Edit > Fill.” Choose “Black” from the options and click “OK.” This will fill your vignette with black.

8. Change the opacity of your vignette layer until you’re happy with the results. I usually go for somewhere between 50-70%.

9. And that’s it! You’ve now successfully created a vignette in Photoshop!
