Controls

amount
How dark the corners go
radius
How far from the middle the darkening begins. Large enough and only the very corners are touched
softness
Width of the transition. Narrow makes a visible ring, wide makes an unnoticeable falloff
roundness
Whether the darkening follows a circle or the shape of the frame
center x
A number from 0 to 1, 0.5 by default.
center y
A number from 0 to 1, 0.5 by default.
tint
The corners need not go black: film vignettes often drift warm or cold, and on light prints they go paler, not darker
