Apply a vignette to a photo in Photos on Mac
You can use a vignette to darken the edges of a photo and emphasize the center of the image. You can adjust the darkness and size of a vignette to create the look you want, and soften the vignette for a less dramatic effect.
Note: You can also apply a vignette to a video. See Change and enhance a video.
