Hi

I have done some vignettes of a wedding couple that look ok. I was wondering if there was an easy way of making a heart shaped vignette or is it just a case of carefully drawing it freehand?

Thanking you all

Cheers

(Optional: Promote the background layer, and set the background colour to your choice)
Use shape layers, select the heart shape and draw a new layer as a path. Convert the path to a selection, feather it by whatever amount you want, invert it, delete it.
There’s your vignette.

Boy, that’s quite a bit simpler than how I would have done it!

That’s why I love these newsgroups so much!
