Shirley you jest, or I've ben misinterpertated?

Well, I got it, and thought it funny.

Please explain to the rest of us , cause i dont understand it...

He lumps three of the most asked about hated effects in one sentence. Now he could have added the tilt in there as well, but it does not get asked as much. It is not so much that they are hated, as that the way most images using them are way over the top anymore, and used to try to turn a silk purse from a sows ear of a photo.

Landscapes and portraits 

If it helps the image and isn't obvious, then why not?!

 

The only vignetting that I don't like is when they do the reverse vignetting with white 

When post processing my landscapes, I would say in Lightroom I'm adding a vignette about 70% of the time.  Great way to print attention to the center of the photo.  

Pretty much what I was going to say 

If you only have Photoshop, how are you adding a vignette?

i do an inverse selection of the centre of the photo (so the selection is the edges) and feather it a bit, then copy into a new layer and choose the multiply layer filter

I use a color fill layer of neutral gray (128,128,128) and set the blending mode to soft light. I then take a large, soft brush at a low opacity set to black and then brush in the effect I want. This is the technique I use for dodging and burning. If you overdo it, all you have to do is go back and paint with white on the color fill layer. That color fill layer's opacity can be adjusted also to fine tune the effect.

If you shoot RAW it is an option in Photoshop. Next to Lens Correction is "FX". Click on that and the bottom half are vignetting sliders to your content.

Is this in camera raw or photoshop in general? Most of my editing is done out of camera raw and vignetting is always the very last thing I do...

That would be ACR Tess.

If you have CC you can use ACR as a filter and do it later in the process if you want.
