Step Three:
Now for the opposite: adding vignetting
to focus attention (by the way, in the
“Special Effects for Photographers” chap-
ter, I also show you how to get the same
effect outside of Camera Raw). For this,
we'll switch to a different photo.
Step Four:
This time, in the Lens Vignetting sec-
tion, you're going to drag the Amount
slider to the left, and as you drag left,
you'll start to see vignetting appear in the
corners of your photo. But since it's just
in the corners, it looks like the bad kind
of vignetting, not the good kind, so you'll
need to make the vignetting look more
like a soft spotlight falling on your sub-
ject. Drag the Midpoint slider quite a bit
to the left, which increases the size of
the vignetting and creates a soft, pleas-
ing effect that is very popular in portrai-
ture, or anywhere you want to draw atten-
tion to your subject. That's it—how to get
rid of 'em and how to add 'em. Two for
the price of one!
