Vignette Pictures that have vignetting tend to have a brighter central region, and a dark periphery. Enhance a portrait by darkening the peripheral
areas, and automatically drawing attention to the center of the photo. Use the option to create a white vignette and explore the results that the
vignette effect (Elements Editor > Guided mode > Vignette Effect) can produce. For more information, see Add vignette effect.
For a quick tutorial, watch a video on applying a vignette effect.

Filters
Comic Filter Add an element of fun to your favorite portrait by making it look like a panel from a comic strip. Applying the new Comic filter (Filter >
Sketch > Comic), converts your photo into seemingly hand-sketched artwork. A variety of controls enable you to attain granular control over the
final result.

Pen and Ink filter Convert your photograph into a work of art, making it appear hand-sketched. Applying the Pen and Ink filter (Filter > Sketch >
Pen and Ink) creates the effect of artistic sketching, with options to control pen and ink attributes.
