In fact, you can even use this way to create your own (free) action. On CS2, it's a filter under Lens Correction--and just like Lightroom, you can choose dark/light & how much, and adjust the midpoint for a standardized vignette effect...

I create a new layer, fill it with black, select the rectangle marquee tool and form a rectangle a little bit away from the photo edge (how far depends on the look you want). Then go to Select>Feather and I usually choose 10 pixels (again depends on the look you want), the "marching ants"/selected area should have rounded corners now. Then you hit backspace on your keyboard which "knocks out" the selected area. Hit escape to remove the "marching ants". And then adjust opacity to taste. Easier and quicker than it sounds, although someday I would like to have other much easier options (ie CS3 and Lightroom). :-) I do it yet another way, since I only have PSE right now.
