# Vignette

Add glowing light accents to your photos with Magic Light AI in Luminar for Desktop. This guide explains how to make your images shine.

The **Vignette** tool darkens or brightens the edges of your photo, helping draw the viewer’s attention toward the center of the image. Use it subtly for a natural focus effect or increase the intensity for a more dramatic look.

**How to Use:** Select the Vignette tool and adjust the **Amount** slider to control the strength and direction of the effect.

* **Move left** to darken the edges and create a classic vignette.
* **Move right** to brighten the edges for a lighter, softer effect.

**When to Use:** Ideal for portraits, still life, or any photo where you want to guide the viewer’s attention toward the center of the composition.

**Pro Tip:** A subtle dark vignette is often enough to strengthen the composition without making the effect noticeable.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://support.skylum.com/luminar-for-web/how-to-use-luminar-for-web/editing-tools/creative/vignette.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
