Abstract
Techniques for non-destructive automatic face-aware vignettes are described. In implementations, a request is received to generate a vignette for an image that includes face(s) or other salient object(s) or a combination faces and salient objects displayed in the image. Based on the request, a boundary can be determined that encloses the face(s) or other salient object(s) or both. Using the boundary, one or more parameters of the vignette are automatically modified to customize the vignette based on the face(s) or other salient object(s) or both displayed in the image. Then, a customized version of the vignette can be generated for the image based on the modified parameters.
