If you follow my screencasts regularly, then you will know I am a big fan of adding a little vignetting (darkening of the corners) to my images. Heck! I even created a whole series of actions called the “Vignette Maker” just for Photoshop. But what if you want to create a vignette non-destructively in Lightroom or ACR? Yes, I know we can all do that with the post-crop vignette. No brainer! Ah, but what if you want to off-set the vignette? Watch the screencast after the jump for the work around.

My new Lastolite Ezybox softbox arrived in the post the other day and I took time out from finalizing the new website to take a few shots of my son Julian. The impromptu shoot only lasted a few minutes, but out of it I got some goofy shots that I decided would look great as canvas print. So in this article I will discuss both the photography and Lightroom 2 / Photoshop techniques I used to achieve a simple yet very effective sequence of images into a canvas print.

In this screencast I will show you how to do a non-destructive Black & White infrared technique in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2. The secret to this techniques is to choose an image that has a lot of foliage and grass etc in the shot. So this is one for landscape photographer inside you! Nothing can ever replace an actual infrared image shot with either a DSLR converted for the purpose or infrared film, but this technique comes pretty close. Enjoy!
