Using a radial mask instead of a vignette

- [Instructor] The vignette tool is down at the bottom … of the Exposure tool tab. … And I've never been totally in love with it, … mainly because I just don't feel like … I have the control that I want for setting a vignette. … Now I'm going to go ahead and just show you … what a vignette looks like on this. … So there's a vignette set with Elliptical on Crop, … Circular on Crop, … and then just Circular. … Since there isn't a crop, there isn't much difference there. … So really, I have very little control over what's going on, … in terms of what's affected by the vignette, … other than the intensity of the vignette itself. … That's it. … I don't get to control the shape … or the inner brightness or any of that. … And then, of course, I can go the other way … to offset maybe the effect of a lens hood … that's too small or something. … So I was really happy to see that we have … a radial gradient screen now to work with, … which I think is far more intelligent than a vignette, … and it's what I recommend. …
