Hi - I'm a beginner with Pixelmator Pro. I want to create a background image for Product Photography similar to the attached image where there is a grey background and the effect is of a bright white light directly above so that only a grey gradient is visible in each of the 4 corners.

Ii've looked at the tutorials today but can't see a way to do this so would appreciate any guidance to help me.

Thanks!

Welcome. What you want is a vignette...

I found it difficult to get as light a vignette as you wanted. This is how I did it. Now I've found there are many effects that can be added to work with in just a single layer. Photographic might be useful.

This why we need a Radial Gradient effect added to the Effects panel.
