The Image Vignettes application can be used to apply the vignette effect on images using one of the following shapes: circle, ellipse, diamond, square or rectangle.
The app allows rotating (see Rotate Vignette) the above mentioned shapes when the vignette effect is applied. It also allows specifying how much of the image is revealed and how much is covered by the vignette color (see Vignette Coverage). You can then define the width of the area between the vignette color and the revealed image (see Blend Zone Width) and you can also define the smoothness of the area between the vignette color and the revealed image (see Blend Smoothness). Once you got all these things in place you can then move the vignette on both the X and Y axes (see Move Vignette on X Axis and Move Vignette on Y Axis) and also select the color of the vignette (see Select Color For Vignette).
While using the app, the following shortcuts are important:
-
when you press LEFT CTRL key + W key on an image in the canvas, that image will be shown in the Image Vignette editor of the app and then if you press again the same key combination: LEFT CTRL key + W key, that will bring the image from the Image Vignette editor with the vignette effect applied into the image on the canvas. However if while you are in the Image Vignette editor you press LEFT CTRL key + R key, the image with the vignette applied is discarded and the original image (before entering the Image Vignette editor) is shown in the image on the canvas.

Using the application you can do the following:
- apply different vignette effects on images (the trial version allows working with 35 predefined images).
- define a variety of vignette effects using the shape of the area which is revealed within the image, vignette rotation, vignette coverage, blend zone width, blend smoothness and vignette color.
- drag and drop external images to apply the vignette effects on them (paid version only).
- paste external images from Clipboard (paid version only).
- rotate, resize, duplicate, delete images from the canvas/working area. You can work with any number of images on the canvas by resizing, rotating, duplicating, deleting and changing the opacity of those images. This way you could create a final image from multiple individual images.
For each image you can:
- duplicate that image just by double clicking it.
- resizing that image by pressing one of the CTRL keys and then grabbing the image with the mouse and dragging the mouse, as you drag the mouse, the size of the image will be updated based on the direction of where the mouse is moving.
- rotating that image by pressing one of the SHIFT keys and then clicking the image. If you press the LEFT SHIFT key and click the image, the image will rotate to the left. Similarly, if you press the RIGHT SHIFT key and click the image, the image will rotate to the right.
- filtering the image using several image filters. Notice the Quick Filters and Image Filters With Preview menu options when you right click the image.
- change the opacity of the image by pressing LEFT CTRL key + A (lowers opacity of the selected image) or LEFT CTRL key + Q (increases opacity of the selected image)
- moving the image using the: W, A, S, D key (before moving the image using these keys, you have to click on the image first, to select it).
- deleting the image just by pressing the DEL button on your keyboard.
