Corner shading

'Corner shading' is another term for vignetting, where the image created by the camera lens is darker in the corners because of light fall-off. It's often corrected in-camera, but can also be fixed in software which applies digital lens corrections tailored to each lens.

DxO PhotoLab 6 Elite review

October 6, 2022 by Rod Lawton

Verdict: 4.5 stars PhotoLab 6 has important improvements over version 5 which make it even better for quality fixated photographers.

Add in the excellent editing tools and local adjustments, and you have perhaps the best RAW processor of all.

However, sometimes vignetting is good! Especially if you can control it creatively to improve your picture’s composition and contrast. This image below has all the ingredients for a […]
