Vignetting Edit

I first uploaded the photo of samantha, I decided to change the background of my picture to black and white to make the most of the picture,

I created a new layer, then i went to make a border around the edge of the picture.I clicked the pencil tool (brush) and chose the colour of the border which was preferably black.
I then picked the size of my brush for the border and wanted it to be slightly big with a soft edge to create a softness to the picture.
I held down shift to do this and clicked then dragged it all the way around.

This is a screen grab effect of the border, which has a soft edge to soften the picture image. If i was to change this next time i would personally make the brush size smaller so it doesn't bring as much attention to the border as it has done this time round. 

After I did that i went onto the top bar and went into Filter- blur- Gaussian blur.

When i clicked that this box appeared which changed the sharpness and softness of the picture, I chose to blur it quite allot to give it a dusty look of the image.

This was the original picture of sammy before i made any edits to it.
