The darkening effect on the edges of photos is used quite often. It allows you to draw attention to the main subjects in a photo or to give a photo more personality. The most widely used graphic editing program from Adobe has now added a new filter, Lens Correction. The use of this filter is essential for correcting photography problems caused by the camera lens. This can be negative distortion, vignetting, etc. Although the application of this effect is weak, it nevertheless has a strong effect on the image.
