VIGNETTING
In photography and optics, vignetting is a reduction of an image’s brightness or saturation at the periphery compared to the image center. The word came to be used for a photographic portrait which is clear in the center, and fades off at the edges. Vignetting is often an unintended and undesired effect caused by camera settings or lens limitations. However, it is sometimes purposely introduced for creative effect, such as to draw attention to the center of the frame. A photographer may deliberately choose a lens which is known to produce vignetting to obtain the effect, or it may be introduced with the use of special filters or post-processing procedures. Process
NOTE: There are other quick ways of creating a vignette for images, but this is the most powerful, because you don’t alter the original image and the vignette is in it’s own layer to be controlled. SO...why add a vignette to a photograph?
