what is a vignette.<<<---?

A vignette is a photograph whose edges fade out gradually. In photography, vignetting can be an unintentional result caused by optical limitations in the camera lens. As an effect, it is frequently used for portrait photos, usually in an oval or other shape. A vignette effect is easy to apply to a digital photo in most photo-editing programs.

A vignette, or soft fade, is a popular photo effect where the photo gradually fades into the background, usually in an oval shape. Elements has a built-in vignette effect, but the method outlined here is non-destructive--none of the original pixels in your image are altered--and it gives you more control over the placement, fading, and background contents.

And to boot, the Autosampler includes a rugged All Weather / Underwater case which goes to 3m deep (about 14’) and is reliable for snorkeling, showering, skiing, snowboarding, water balloon fighting, and rainforest hiking.
