I’m a beginner using Photoshop Elements 14. I can create a black or white vignette with Guided Edit, but I’d like the vignette to be a different color instead. Is there a simple way to do that after creating the vignette, or is there a better method to make a colored vignette from the start?

If you create a layer, you can then apply the vignette to a mask. The mask could be used to apply color at varying degrees of transparency and with any color that you apply using a paint bucket.

Yes. A simple approach is to use a separate layer and a mask rather than relying only on the Guided Edit vignette.

Create a new layer, fill it with the color you want, and then use a vignette-style mask on that layer. The mask controls where the color shows, and the soft edges of the mask create the vignette effect. Because the color is on its own layer, you can change it easily later. You can also adjust the layer opacity to make the colored vignette stronger or more subtle.

In short: the easiest beginner-friendly method is a color-filled layer plus a vignette mask. That gives you any color you want and lets you control the transparency smoothly.

One community answer mentioned more advanced methods, but those are not necessary for a basic colored vignette.
