In this tutorial, we'll learn how the new Iris Blur filter in Photoshop CS6 makes it easy to add a blurred vignette effect to a photo. We'll be using Iris Blur's hidden layer mask feature, along with a couple of adjustment layers, to lighten the vignette and give its colors a more faded, muted appearance. You can create a similar effect using earlier versions of the program, but for the steps we'll be covering in this tutorial, you'll need Photoshop CS6 to follow along.I'll be covering, step by step, everything you need to know to complete this effect, but for a more detailed description of how the new Iris Blur filter works, be sure to check out our full Iris Blur tutorial in the Photo Retouch section of the website.
