Enhance your landscape photos by adding a fine-art border with an even feathered edge
Create a fine-art border in Lightroom

So you have some fine-art landscape photos to show off... one thing you can do to enhance your landscape processing is add a border to the finished image. In this case, we're talking about having an even feathered edge to the image which will leave it surrounded in white. It's a pleasing effect.

Given that Lightroom Classic doesn't allow you to add pixels or remove them without copying from other parts of the image (even content-aware removal is still based on existing pixels), you may be wondering if this is even possible in Lightroom.

Well, it is. In the Effects panel, you have the Post-Crop Vignetting tool. Usually, this tool is used to darken edges with a large feather so there's a subtle change. You don't want the vignette itself to be too visible, instead, you just need a gentle effect that draws your eye to the centre of the vignette.
