Hello! Have you ever seen the highlighting effect of darkened corners applied to an image? Have you ever wondered how it’s done? Well, I have and did.

The next morning when I woke up, ding! I knew I knew. So I fired up the computer and loaded ‘shop and sure enough – I figured it out.

Thanks Don -
Awesome write up! Thanks for taking the time to do this. I’m thinking of a couple handy Photoshop tips that I know of. What about stabilizing the ellipse tool by holding down the alt key while dragging it out. Another one along those lines would be holding the shift key to get a perfect circle every time.
