Cinematic Crop & Vignette

#Camera#Photoshop#Workflow

Guide the eye like a film frame.

The Workflow

  1. Crop to a clean aspect ratio (16:9, 2.39:1, 4:5).
  2. Add a soft vignette on a new layer (large soft brush).
  3. Set to Multiply/Soft Light and keep it subtle.
  4. Use Curves to lift subject, drop corners slightly.

The Usage

Small framing choices massively improve readability and “pro polish”.
