LuttieVignette effect
A well-placed vignette is the finishing touch that draws the viewer's eye to your subject and adds depth to a frame. Luttie's vignette tool gives you three controls — intensity, midpoint, and feather — that update in real time. Add a subtle natural darkening or go bold with a dramatic edge, then export the photo or video with the vignette applied.
Subtle to dramatic — your call.
Three sliders, full creative control.
Intensity
How dark the edges become. A subtle 20–30% intensity adds depth without being obvious; a strong 70–80% creates a dramatic, stylized look.
Midpoint
How far the vignette reaches toward the center. A high midpoint keeps the darkening close to the edges; a lower midpoint brings it further in.
Feather
Controls how gradually the vignette fades from the edges to the center. High feather = smooth, invisible transition. Low feather = hard, dramatic edge.
Frequently asked questions
A vignette is a darkening or desaturation effect applied to the edges and corners of an image, while keeping the center brighter. It mimics the natural light falloff seen in old camera lenses and film photography, and is widely used in modern editing to focus the viewer's eye on the center subject. In color grading, a vignette is often the final finishing touch on a cinematic grade.
In Luttie, open the Vignette panel and use the three sliders: Intensity (how dark the edges are), Midpoint (how far the vignette reaches inward), and Feather (how softly it fades). All changes preview in real time. Once you're happy with the result, export the image or video with the vignette and the rest of your grade applied. On a free account the export carries a watermark; Pro removes it.
No. A LUT only maps one colour to another, so it can't carry anything that depends on where a pixel sits in the frame, and a vignette does. The vignette is included when you export the image or video from Luttie. If you export a .cube, add the vignette again in your editing app.
