RE: Photofeedback #4: Fisgard Lighthouse picture by @deborahmack!
Another great, detailed and useful post. Thanks to @deborahmack for providing the photo. Could you explain what the vignette is and how it is done? I haven’t heard the term used with pictures.
Thank you @kunschj!
A vignette is a technique that adds visual weight to the center of your image. You can add a negative vignette, which makes the edges of your photo a bit darker, or a positive vignette which makes the edges brighter.
I think it is more clear if you Google 'vignette photo' and then select images. You'll immediately see what I mean!
The vignette I added in the review is barely visible, but when you see the before and after vignette pictures next to each other, it suddenly becomes obvious.
Thanks. I think I will have to play around with that. I normally use GIMP mostly just to crop pictures but I have a free trial of Lightroom after seeing what you are doing.
That's great. Lightroom takes some time to learn, but with Youtube videos and some articles you will quickly understand it.
There isn't a piece of software I'd recommend more than Lightroom.
