Vignette effect without coding

Question

Is there any method exist to create vignetting/frame effect on picturebox, ie another picturebox with png image as overlay/mask? I don't want to see sharp edges between picture and background.

Image over image is the solution. I used PNG image below. ![enter image description here][1] [1]: http://i.stack.imgur.com/UsSV9.png — Nime Cloud, Jun 17 '11 at 12:31

You could use OpacityMask : something like

   <Image Width="200" Source="C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Chrysanthemum.jpg">
      <Image.OpacityMask>
        <RadialGradientBrush>
          <GradientStop Offset="0.8" Color="#ffff"></GradientStop>
          <GradientStop Offset="1" Color="#0fff"></GradientStop>
        </RadialGradientBrush>
      </Image.OpacityMask>
    </Image>

would give a vignette effect.
