Create a Non-Destructive Vignette Effect with The GIMP

Dominic Chomko was kind enough to create a script for the vignette effect method presented in this tutorial, and offer it for download.

The script creates a vignette around a selection.

• Vignette based on selection and active layer.
• Softness, opacity, and colour of the vignette can be changed in the dialog box.
• Checking "Keep Layers" allows adjustment of vignette opacity after the fact.
• Also check "Keep Layers" if you have other layers visible otherwise they will be merged down.
