FAQ
Vignette Effect FAQ
A vignette effect darkens, lightens, or colors the edges of an image to guide attention toward the center or main subject.
Dark vignettes add drama and focus; light vignettes create glow, softness, or a dreamy edge.
Avoid strong vignettes when important details are near the edges or when a group photo has subjects across the frame.
Yes. Strength controls intensity, radius controls coverage, and feathering controls how soft the transition feels.
A heavy vignette can hide edge details. Use a lighter effect when borders contain text, products, or important scenery.
It can, but use it carefully. A center-heavy vignette may make people near the edges look less important.
The visual principle works for video, but this feature page focuses on image generation and editing.
Reduce intensity, increase feathering, widen the radius, or use a warmer and more transparent edge color.
