There are a number of ways to do this.I think this is about the easiest.Make sure that you have white selected as your background colour.Using the rectangular selection tool select an are in the centre of your picture slightly smaller than the area you wish to keep.Go to Selections menu & inverse,creating a selected border area.Then go Selections-feather and enter a high value,say 21 or above.Now press the delete key.
Go to the Selections menu and chose "deselect" in Photoshop 5 or higher and I believe "none" in lower versions,or use the short cut keys. "Control + D" on the Pc,not sure about the Mac,but I think it,s similar "Command + D".Something like that. By the way the moving border around selections is often refered to as "marching ants".Which I think is a great descriptive term.
I think he means the feather option in the Tool Options window. Essentially, you're doing the same thing as feathering the selection after the fact, but if you set it in the tool options it presets the marquee to feather by X amount. Then you just select as usual. However, if you use ctrl+ A (command + A on Mac) it doesn't apply, you have to manually set the marquee. Then you just invert the selection (ctrl/cmd + shift+ I) and delete to get your fade.
Another method that is very simple as well is to select your crop marquee tool and set your feather to about 5 or 10 pixels and select an area a bit smaller than the actual size and copy and make a new layer and paste on that layer or hit ctrl j to make a new layer of your selection. You should then have a nicely faded nordered picture...works great with circle marquee tool too for portraits. Happy Rendering, Michael

How do you slowly make the edges of a picture turn to white (fade out)? Microsoft PictureIt has an easy way of doing it. I don't know what it's called so I can't look it up in help. Kimberly krbtv@home.com
