  similarly you can use the circular gradient tool and do a darkening
  "vignette" in one fell swoop. I personally would do it as a mask on an
  adjustment layer, probably curves or levels. As such you can control the
  degree of darkening through both the adjustment you make, and the layers
  opacity control.

  BTW, Mark Tucker, using adjustment layers may be for woosies, but you should
  feel the rush of screwing one up and being able to correct it! Or trash it!

  Do you keep an open bottle of fixer by your side to keep it real?  ;-)
