I know what you mean for images other than this one.But I think if you lightened the back layer on its own, then did your contrast and shadow darkening on the forefront buildings you would have avoided it. But then I could be wrong. Darn...Michelle got me on that contradict thing now ....LOL

I don't think I can do that in cam dear!!! ;P These darker patches are on the original shot too!! I wouldn't have done this in postwork dear!

I guess the only way to solve the prob is a wide angle lens? yes? No?

Your photo looks similar to the example of optical vignetting on that web site.

There is even a remedy section at the end of the article! ok, hope i was of some assistance ...:-)

No Doug, I don't use any filter!! And thx jeff, gonna check this out right now! ;)

Wicked!! I got it now! Thx a bunch Jeff for that excellent link!! I shot this at F/2.8! I guess I should have shot it at a smaller aperture and the vignette would have disappeared!! magic! :D

Tibet, depends on the camera you are using, I think. (when referring to shooting at a smaller aperture). Additionally, PS 9 can correct vignetting (some). And, as to your image, looks to me more like it's slightly darker on the verticle sides, not just corner.

or u an just mask out that area and make it lighter using curves. 1 minute work.

tibet2004uk ( ) posted Fri, 15 July 2005 at 3:39 PM

@Chuck: I use a 'lil consumer cam and after reading Jeff's link, it makes sense why there's some vignetting! with a smaller aperture, it wouldn't have been vignetted! I noticed this on other pics of mine and it's always on "lanscapes" shot with bigger aperture! So with this specific cam, I think a smaller aperture in those conditions is the answer to the problem! But I will try it out of course to make sure! ;) @beekz: The question was: how to fix it in cam! ;) But thx anyway!

My dear Sylvaine, I'm afraId U've lost me here! O_o LOL!

Anyway, vignetting seems to be a general lens problem. According to dpreview differences in luminance greater than 15% may be visible in everyday shots. At dpreview you can have a look at the in-depth review / Photographic tests page for your cam, for the sony DSC-V3, for example: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonydscv3/page13.asp

Cool...I use a compact consumer digi cam too! :-), but I also have a film SLR...just don't use it as often(as of yet). Pascale, I'm glad you found that link useful. -Jeff :-)
