Looking for that special effect

[KSTEFF]

Hi everyone at TP, I'm hoping somewhere out there, somebody might be able to help. I have recently taken up digital photography and am petty new to everything. To cut to the chase, im looking for an effect that I can apply to one of my pictures. The best way I can describe it is a convex edge which would seem like the image is slightly rounded and pronounced. Now im not quite sure what the effect is called nor do I have a specific lens to achive the desired result. but i'm hopeful that I can download something from somewhere for free...... Any Idea's????

Thanks in advance

If you have the full version of photoshop try the spherize filter (filter/distort/spherize) it sounds like your really after a fisheye lens though. Wayne

Vignette?

If you mean something like this less the film rebate you would use the Transform > Distort tool in CS3.
