When adding a vignette to a photo, the first task you do is create a new layer. Then after that you click the gradient tool on the left side of the screen. Make sure you have black as the fill color or this will not work. You also need to make sure above at the top of the screen after you click the gradient tool that you click the arrow pointing down that gives you more options on gradients and you click the second one. After that you click and drag from each side of the picture to how far you would like the gradient to be on your picture. Then you can fade the gradient or vignette by just bringing down the opacity to whatever you want. The tutorial suggest you bring it to at least no lower than 30%. After this you can flatten the image and save it. After that you have just produced vignette photo. Examples of my pictures shown below. I got this tutorial off of YouTube.
