Step 9: Create the Vignette

In this step, we will learn how to create a vignette which will help enhance the focus on our subject/s.

To start, click on the "Rain" group which is the top most layer in the Layer window and then go to the Menu bar and click on File > New and use the same settings we used to create our canvas. (Refer to Step 1). (Clicking on the "Rain" group will automatically make the vignette on top of all the other layers).

Take note, the background contents should be: WHITE

Once it has been created, go to Filter > Distort > Lens Correction. Find the tab Vignette and use these settings:

  • Vignette amount: -100
  • Midpoint: +50

Now that that's done drag the vignette to our canvas using the Move tool (V) and put it on top of all the layers that we've created, and then set the following:

  • Blending mode: Multiply
  • Opacity to 50%

To set the blending mode, simply click on the drop-down menu beside the word "Normal" on the top part of the Layer window. The Opacity is located just beside that drop-down menu as well. See image below:

The unblended Vignette will look like this:

Step 10: Retouch the artwork

In this step, we will need to retouch the image to enhance the beauty of the image. To start, let's create a Solid Color adjustment layer from the Create New Fill/Adjustment layer button located on the Layer Window.

  • Blending Mode: Exclusion
  • Opacity: 50%

  • Opacity: 40%
