IF YOU USE THIS YOU MUST
:bulletpurple: put a link back to THIS original deviation in the description
:bulletblack: notify me in some way with a link back to where you used it (comment on profile, comment on this page, note, etc.)
:bulletpurple: you must not submit these actions as your own. I made them. They have my copyright on them.

I know it's kind of counter-intuitive for it to be "hip vintage" but that's what the actions looked like. The names are a little weird, too. I think I kinda forced my vision, if that makes sense. But in a way, that's what "sells" one to download an action. It has a name, so you can actually believe that that action creates that effect. It does create an effect, but giving the action a name makes it that much more real and believable.

Anyway. as I was making this action set, I thought it would be neat if there were also some vignette effects to add to the actions. I tried to make that an add-on action, but it failed. :( So here's one way to get a nice vignette effect:
Use the Rectangular or Elliptical Marquee Tool to select the central portion of your photo. Then invert the selection (shift+control+I). Click Refine Edge..., and apply a high amount of feathering, 75–150 pixels maybe, or whatever you think will work. Copy this selection to a new layer and change the Blend Mode to Multiply. You can choose other blend modes, actually. Whatever you think looks best, really. :P You can also play around with the opacity, as as well copy the layer (control-J) to double the effect if the opacity is already at 100%
