About this effect
Vignette darkens the edges of the image to pull more attention toward the center. It is a classic finishing effect because it changes composition emphasis without changing the subject itself.
This is most useful when the image feels visually loose around the edges or when you want the center subject to feel more intentional. Compared with blur, vignette keeps detail intact while still guiding attention.

Common questions
FAQ
What does a vignette do?
A vignette darkens the edges of the image so the center feels more prominent and the subject gets more visual focus.
When should I use vignette?
Use it when the main subject sits closer to the center and you want the photo to feel more focused or slightly more dramatic.
Is vignette better than blur for attention control?
They solve different problems. Vignette guides attention while keeping detail, whereas blur reduces detail more directly.
