Masking Bug > Vignette

Is there any way to click-drag to define the initial size of the vignette? The default just dumps a very large almost circular vignette on the image which you then have to spend time shaping and resizing rather than having a close starting point...

  No, it is set to fill the image and there are no controls for its initial size.

  Thanks, Brian.... I thought I was maybe missing something as other apps let you do this....

  Depending on what you're using the vignette for, you may be able to make a preset for it. If you want to post a screenshot of how you used it we might be able to come up with an idea or two.

  Hi Rick.... yeah, it's a bit trickier than saving a preset I'd think..... the image below with masks will give you a better idea what I'm doing..... even being able to copy/paste an existing vignette mask would be a great help, but can't find any way to do that either.... I tried the line mask, but trying to feather the edges properly is too much of a chore as it needs brushing.....

  Rather than a Preset, create a Style once you have the Vignette Masking Bug set up the way you'd like for an initial placement. I would not make any slider adjustments leaving them all at 0 so when the style is applied only the mask gets put into place. Then you can adjust the sliders as needed for the particular image you are working on.

  In the Adjustment panel click on the More button and at the bottom of the menu is an option to Save New Style…. That Adjustment with its slider settings and mask will be saved.

  

  You can also copy/paste masks by clicking on the mask preview button to open the Masking Options. In there are buttons to Copy and Paste the mask.

  Thanks, Brian.... yes, the 'Style' option would definitely work! Gives me a much better starting point, then the copy/paste is useful after that... Perfect, thanks.... 👍🏻
