I will show you a quick and simple method to create a fisheye lens effect in Adobe Lightroom.

If you want, you can download the photo that I’m using here.


Fisheye lens effect

Open the photo that you want to edit. Then go to lens corrections and select manual.

Adjust the distortion. The amount depends on your photo and your personal preference.

Then go to effects. Lower the amount to -100 to create a dark vignette.

Adjust the midpoint, roundness and feather to create a vignette that suits your photo.

Vignette


In the photo I’m using, the subject is not in the center of the photo. You can crop your photo and adjust the ratio to place your subject more towards the center of the photo. By doing this, the subject will also be more in the center of the vignette.

Crop


And that’s how you create a fisheye lens effect in Adobe Lightroom!
