Select Vignette and drag the Amount slider to any value to enable the adjustment sliders.

• Feather: Lower values reduce softening between the vignette and the vignette’s surrounding pixels. Higher values increase the softening.
• Midpoint: Lower values apply the Amount adjustment to a larger area away from the corners. Higher values restrict the adjustment to an area closer to the corners.
• Roundness: Lower values make the vignette effect more oval. Higher values make the vignette effect more circular.
• Highlights: Lower values reduce highlight contrast preservation when the Amount is negative, while higher values enhance it, ideal for photos with small highlights like candles and lamps.

From the Style dropdown menu, select a look:
