Radial Filter
The Radial Filter tool works like the Graduated Filter tool.
You drag out a circle or oval instead of a gradient.
You can:
• Create vignettes.
• Smooth uneven lighting, such as from pop-up flash.
• Lighten the dark corners when using some wide-angle lenses.
To make a circle, press and hold Shift when you drag it out.
At the bottom of the Radial Filter panel, you can:
• Adjust the feathering.
• Invert the mask.
To move the circle/oval, click and hold inside it, and drag.
To change the shape, click and hold one of the handles on the circle/oval, and drag.
