Another Photoshop Question

[Kiwi the 1st]

Does anyone know if there's a filter a bit like vignetting?

Also, does anyone know how to use the normal vignetting feature?

Can I please have an honest answer?

Asking serious questions is ChatterBank seems to invite unhelpful answers. Asking questions with only half the necessary information doesn't help much either. i.e. you've not stated what you mean by 'Photoshop'. Is it Photoshop 6, Photoshop CS, Photoshop Elements or one of the many other versions of Photoshop?

These instructions are taken from Photoshop for Windows and Macintosh (Photoshop 6 edition), in the Visual Quickstart Guide series. ((Where shortcuts are shown, the first option applies to Windows, the second one applies to Macs):

1. For a multi-layer image, choose a layer and uncheck the 'Lock transparent pixels' box. The vignette you create is going to appear to fade into the layer or layers below it.

For an image with a Background only, choose a background colour for the area around the vignette.

2. Choose the Rectangular Marquee or Elliptical Marquee tool (M or Shift-M) or the Lasso tool (L or Shift-L).

3. Enter 15 or 20 px in the Feather field on the options bar. Alternatively, you can feather the selection after it's created (after step 4) using Select menu > Feather.

4. Create a selection.

5. Choose Select menu > Inverse (Ctrl-Shift-I / Cmd-Shift-I).

6. Press Backspace / Delete.

7. Deselect (Ctrl-D / Cmd-D)
