Vignettes 101

In my last post, ‘ Vignettes ‘ Lighten or Darken? ‘ I discussed vignettes in brief detail and only brought up the issue of lightening the edges vs. darkening them. The word ‘vignette’ has quite a few meanings. In photography, it is the edge of an image and comes from the old french ‘vigne’ and refers to a decorative border. Vignettes happen naturally when more light reaches the center of an image than is reaching the edges.
