Do you like a white mount, preferably with rounded corners? You can create one in Lightroom Classic. The options are limited, but it can be done quickly and easily. Would you rather have black? That works too.

For a digital mount around your photo, you usually need software such as Photoshop or Affinity Photo. Sometimes there are plugins that offer various options.

Do you like a simple white mount with rounded corners? You can easily create one in Lightroom Classic. It literally takes a few seconds. You do this with the vignetting tool.

To do this, open your photo in the Develop module and select the Effects panel. There you will find the Post-Crop Vignetting tool.

Then set the available sliders as follows:
  • Amount = +100
  • Midpoint = approximately 25
  • Roundness = -100
  • Feather = 0


You can adjust the midpoint and roundness a little more until you are happy with them. That is all you need to do. The result is a photo with a white border and rounded corners.

Do you not like white and would you rather have black? That works too. Set Amount to -100 and your border will be black.

If you choose the Paint Overlay option instead of Highlight Priority, you can even set Amount to other values. Your border will then be partly transparent, with a dark or light edge.

Would you like to add more creativity to your vignette? It is best to move the photo to Photoshop or Affinity Photo. The possibilities are then virtually endless.
