How to Add a Vignette to a Photo?
The Vignette tool in Luminar darkens or lightens the edges of your image. Vignette photo effects typically leave the center of the image unaffected while shading or lightening the edges.
Luminar goes further by letting you place the center point of the vignette anywhere in the image.
