I'll grab my Elliptical Marquee Tool from the Tools panel by clicking and holding my mouse button down on the Rectangular Marquee Tool , then selecting the Elliptical Marquee Tool from the fly-out menu that appears:.
With the Elliptical Marquee Tool in hand, I'll drag out an elliptical selection outline around the area in the center of the photo that I want to keep:.
The Elliptical Marquee Tool, as with most of Photoshop's selection tools, draws hard edge selections, so to create my vignette effect, I'll need to soften the edges quite a bit. Before we look at the better way to soften the edges, let's take a quick look at Photoshop's Feather command. I'll select the Feather command by going up to the Select menu in the Menu Bar along the top of the screen, then from there I'll choose Modify , and then Feather :.
This opens the Feather Selection dialog box where we can enter a Feather Radius value, in pixels, to specify the amount of feathering we want to apply to the selection edges. Problem is, how we know what value to enter? In my case, what's the exact feathering value I need here to create an ideal transition between the selection and the white background behind it? The correct answer is, I have no idea. All I can do is guess at a value. Since the Feather Selection dialog box gives me no other choice, I'll play along and enter a value of 30 pixels, which is nothing more than a guess:.
I'll click OK to close out of the Feather Selection dialog box, and now if we look again at my elliptical selection in the document window, we see that it looks In truth, the selection edges are now softer, but Photoshop's standard "marching ants" selection outline has no way of indicating that the edge is feathered. It still looks like a solid, hard edge. I wish I could be of more help. Photoshop shouldn't feel too bad, though, because it actually can be of more help. In fact, it can give us a full preview of what our feathered edges look like.
It just can't do it using the Feather command and the standard selection outline. What we need, then, is another way - a better way - to feather selection edges, and that way is with Photoshop's Quick Mask mode.
Then, I'll click on the Quick Mask icon at the very bottom of the Tools panel. Clicking the icon once switches us into Quick Mask mode.
