Can anyone recommend a way to make a heart shaped vignette? I wanted to try it on a picture of the wife and I together. I've tried a few different ways but none of them came out very well. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You might be able to get the general shape by using a few gradients (with black/grey), but the top of the heart shape could be tricky. Might be worth a try though?

On a new layer, choose your Custom Shape Tool and in the drop down menu choose a heart shape.

Drag your cursor over your image until the Heart shape is the correct size.

Feather 100-150.

Invert Selection.

Fill with black or do a Levels/Curves/Solid Fill Adjustment Layer with that Selection.

Ok that sounds good. I'll give it a try and play with it. Thanks

or:

new layer,

custom shape= heart shape

size and colour of your choice,

gaussian blur to soften the edges and change opacity to suit.

Whole process= 1 minute.
