Step Seven:
The next two sliders were added to make
your vignettes look more realistic than
the ones you applied in Lightroom 2. For
example, the Roundness setting controls
how round the vignette is (try leaving
it set to 0, and then drag the Feather
amount, which we'll talk about in a
moment, all the way to the left). You see
how it creates a very defined oval shape?
Well, the Roundness setting controls
how round that oval gets (drag the slider
back and forth and you'll instantly get it).
Step Eight:
The Feather slider controls the amount
of softness of the oval's edge, so dragging
this slider to the right makes the vignette
softer and more natural looking. Here
I clicked-and-dragged the Feather amount
to 33, and you can see how it softened
the edges of the hard oval you saw in the
previous step. So, in short, the farther you
drag, the softer the edges of the oval get.
The bottom slider, Highlights, helps you
to maintain highlights in the edge areas
you're darkening with your vignette.
The father to the right you drag it, the
more the highlights are protected. The
Highlights slider is only available if your
Style is set to either Highlight Priority
or Color Priority.
