Looking for an easy way to add a fisheye effect in Lightroom using lens distortion tools? This tutorial shows you how to manually adjust distortion and vignette settings to recreate the iconic curved look of a fisheye lens.

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