Fixing corner light faloff (vignetting)???

MLangton

Hello all,

Tried a thread search here. Maybe I missed something as I've been doing lens research all day.

Is there a way to correct for light falloff in PP? I know that I could always just crop the edges off. Rather than that, is there a way to just brighten the corners??? I am new to PP, so please explain in layman's terms.

Or do I need to go take a loan out for 2k to just get a lens that won't do this at the wide range??? :confused

Yes, light fall-off can be fixed in PP. What PP software do you have and use? In Adobe Lightroom, there are two vignetting sliders.

Using GIMP right now... Saving up for Lightroom.

Sorry, but I don't know GIMP.

How do you do it in what you use? So far, I have seen that GIMP and PS, are fairly similar. GIMP is just much more archaic. Thanks!

In Lightroom, I use the vignetting sliders for midpoint and amount. In Photoshop, you can use the same controls in ACR or you can create a circular mask about 2/3 of the way from the center of the image, blur the edge a lot, then use an adjustment layer curve through that mask to brightend up the outer edges.

Got it, THANKS!
