How To: Create Vignette Effect Using Photoshop Elements 4.0
This is a very rough step-by-step guide for creating the vignette effect on a photo using Photoshop Elements 4.0. (I apologise for the simplicity of the instructions).
1. Open a photo
2. On the Layers Palette, create adj layer (click Icon) > choose Gradient
3. In the Gradient Fill Box, do the following:
a) Stle drop-down menu > Radial
b) Select the Reverse box
c) Click on the gradiant colour box. A new screen will appear. Adjust the Opacity Stop using the slider.
d) Click OK.
4. Click OK on the Gradient Fill box.
5. Right click on the Layer thumbnail > Simplify Layer
6. While the Gradient Fill Layer is still selected > Image > Transform > Free Transform
7. While holding on to the alt key, move the corner to adjust the gradient fill on the photo.
8. When happy with the results, select the green tick.
9. Layers Palette > In the blending mode box, select Soft Light
10. Select the Move Tool icon from the toolbar > Layers Palette> Right click the gradient layer > duplicate layer
[...] the vignette sliders to your liking. I’ve never tried it with Elements but there are instructions here. Hope this helps. __________________ My 365 Photo [...]
