Hi forum!

much thanks for any help!!

ok.. simple question.. i have a small
circle in the center of my image and
I'm trying to create a massive vignette around
it.. i've tried this a number of ways, and they all
leave a gradient that is too rough/jagged.
i just basically need a central point of light
fading into darkness..

i've attached an image of my before
and after to give an idea of what i'm trying
to do.. it's the best i've been able to get
so far..

can anyone give me any advice on how to
handle this problem?

thanks!!
dan

Is this what you are trying to achieve




* Create a black background layer
* Crop the ball only on a separate layer
* Add a layer mask on the ball layer.
* Select 'gradient tool' and select 'Radial Gradient'
* Have 'White' as the foreground color and 'black' as background color.
* Add the gradient as per your requirement.

PSD Attached for reference.

Cheers. !!!
