Just to be sure. Adding vignetting is illegal but how about correcting it? Some RAW converters may even correct lens specific features like this automatically when reading lens exif data. How about automatic CA correction?

Yeah - I remember finding this feature in the latest Camera Raw plug-in and seeing how it "faked-in" the vignette - really sort-of unexpected in that sort of application.


Its mostly there I think to remove a lens vignette. It can be used to add one, but just like adding -2 to 2 gives 0, its really there to remove effects at that point. There are also real filters you can get to put over the lens to balance out a vignette (by making the center of the frame darker). Again these sorts of tools can be used in the RAW converter to balance out those differences.

Plenty of people use it for effect though.

Not sure if in basic if we can use these tools to remove a lens vignette. Doesn't seem to have been cleared up yet.

I know of people that do that, especially with the 24-105L on a 5D.

Didn't I already answer that an hour ago?

Well you said you think you believe it might have happened in your opinion.

Not sure if that counts as clearing it up though :) So it'd only be a violation if you do it badly ? (too much, not enough)

The nice thing about basic rules was that they used to be tool based, not results based. This seems to shift that a shade.

Hold on there, cowboy! You cannot make blanket statements like that.

Vignettes are legal if they are part of the original capture. Just like lens flare and motion. Kaput.

I'm pretty sure that I thought it might possibly clear it up a little bit in my personal opinion. ;-P

to me, adding a vignette in basic ruleset was always obviously illegal. I knew that, not because I had to search for it in the forums, but because it's explicitly spelled out in the rules themselves.

They clearly state: You may not: ... use ANY editing tool to create new image area, objects or features (such as vignettes , lens flare or motion) that didn’t already exist in your original capture.

bold added by me for emphasis.

Poop! I meant to go back and clarify that. Yes you are correct. No vignettes added in post processing. I stand corrected and greatly humbled in the prescence of those who present their opinions more articulately and accurately than myself. *bow*

Here's mine, adding this because I'm still a bit sore about it, although I feel better seeing others were confused. This occurred at a time when Tone Mapping was included in basic, which seemed much more intense that a lens vignette - especally added in ACR. Regardless, I can live with this now :)

Here is my example:


The vignetting actually didn't add that much too, although to be honest, this one was not going to do much anyway.
