      Vignette is a small illustration or portrait photograph which fades into its background without a definite border.

Minimum Requirement:  PS CS4

      On following my posts , you would have learnt how to create a "Solid Color" layer and apply   "Blending Mode" on a layer.

Step 1: The photo that was given a Vintage effect in my previous post  is the same which is going to get vigenetted now.

Step 2: Create a "Solid Color" Layer of your desired dark color.

                               Now right click the layer and select "Delete layer Mask" option.

                           Step 3 : Select "Ellipse Tool"  which is available in "Lasso tool" in the tool bar.

                             Step 4: Make a selection by Click-and-Drag as me.

Step 5: Change the Feather pixels to  a value between 100 and 150.

Select

                                    Step 6: Right-Click -> "Select inverse" 
                                         
                                    Step 7: Click the mask icon  on the bottom of your layer window.

                      Step 8: Now if you want to reduce the opacity , Click "Opacity" on the top right of the                               Layer  Window and reduce the Percentage value
