Vignettes can also give photos a vintage or nostalgic look, or add a sense of mystery or drama. <\/p>\n<p>And with <a href=\"\/basics\/how-to-use-live-gradients-in-photoshop-2023\/\" title=\"Learn more about Photoshop live gradients\">live gradients in Photoshop 2023<\/a>, creating a vignette has never been easier. The term <em>live gradient<\/em> means that all of the gradient\u2019s properties, including the colors, size and position, remain editable after the gradient is drawn.<\/p>\n<p>By combining a live gradient\u2019s flexibility with Photoshop\u2019s classic Foreground to Transparent gradient, we can add a vignette with complete control over how it looks.<\/p>\n<p>As we work through the steps in this tutorial, you\u2019ll learn how to:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"f1\">\n<li>Add a vignette using a Foreground to Transparent gradient;<\/li>\n<li>Edit the vignette using Photoshop\u2019s live gradient controls;<\/li>\n<li>Choose different colors for your vignette;<\/li>\n<li>Blend the vignette more naturally with your image;<\/li>\n<li>And more!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here\u2019s an example of the basic vignette effect we\u2019ll create.
