Learn How to Create a Pinhole Effect in Photoshop. Pinhole cameras do not have a lens, but only have a hole for light to enter. The photos from the pinhole camera are very distorted, blurry, only black and white with a vignette effect around the photo. In order to more freely adjust the vignette effect, we will create it manually by doing an ellipse-shaped selection, inversion of the selection, then giving it a black color and giving a blur filter. The next step is to convert the photo to black and white using an adjustment layer. After the photo turns black and white, we give it a radial blur filter and also a noise filter. To remove the blur filter on the main object, you can use the erase tool using a soft brush with a hardness of 0%.
