Step Three:
Now, this works just fine, until you wind
up having to crop the photo, because
cropping will crop away the edge vignette.
To get around that problem, Adobe added
a control called “Post-Crop Vignetting,”
which lets you add vignetting effects after
you've cropped. I'm cropping that same
photo in tight here, and now most of the
edge vignetting I added earlier will be
cropped off. So, scroll down to the Effects
panel and at the top you'll see Post-Crop
Vignetting. Before we try that, reset your
Lens Vignetting Amount slider to 0 (zero),
so we don't add the post-crop vignetting
on top of the little bit of original vignetting
still in our photo.
Step Four:
Before we get to the sliders, let's talk about
the Style pop-up menu. You have three
choices: (1) Highlight Priority, (2) Color
Priority, and (3) Paint Overlay. We'll start
with Highlight Priority, which is my favorite
of the three. The reason I like it is the
results are more like you get with the
regular vignette. The edges get darker,
but the color may shift a bit, and I'm
totally okay with the edges looking more
saturated. This choice gets its name from
the fact that it tries to keep as much of
the highlights intact, so if you have some
bright areas around the edges, it'll try and
make sure they stay bright. Again, this is my
favorite choice, and is a big improvement
on the old post-crop vignetting from Light-
room 2. I made the edges pretty darn dark
here—darker than I would make mine, but
I wanted you to really see the effect on the
cropped image (just for example purposes).
