I know what you are thinking already, and you probably cringed at the thought of the word vignette. However, vignettes can be very powerful if used correctly!
A powerful vignette can attract your viewer and pull them in without them even having the slightest bit that you grabbed them by their puppy scruff with your kick ass vignette skills! A bad vignette can make the viewer feel as if they are poaching your focal point!
There are several ways to make a successful vignette from Camera Raw, to the hand made masked vignette. Check out this video tutorial for some vignetting techniques and quite possibly some vignetting inspiration!

Awesome tutorial once again Blake
Thanks so much Blake, awesome stuff.
GREAT info Blake! I’ve always liked the effects of vignettes but grow tired of the ‘vanilla’ looking ones from presets. The PS kind you show really opens up a whole new way to guide the viewers eye. THANKS!
No problem Randy! I am glad you liked it, I feel the same way you do about vignettes!
