Had a request from someone on Vimeo today asking me how to do this. When I’ve got time I’ll add some pics to post. Ok there might be an easier way of doing it, but off the top of my head -
Use the shape tool & draw a black rectangle over your image, check fill and make it black (unless you want to use another colour for vignette). Then draw a circle for the area you want to vignette – if you want to make a custom shape then draw it with the bezier tool (haven’t got time here to go into how to use bezier tool!). Again check fill – it doesn’t matter what colour you select. You’re going to use this shape as a mask. Now apply the Gaussian blur filter to your circle/custom shape. Change the amount value to something your happy with.
Now your going to apply an image mask to that rectangle. Right-click on your rectangle layer>add image mask. In the inspector or HUD drag your circle or custom shape to the Mask Source box. Finally check Invert Mask. You should now have a custom vignette!
