Hey guys, question for ya. How do you make the edges of a picture fade out into nothing. Kinda like the picture is in a dream? I used to know how to do this but i have forgotten since I haven't used it in a while. Thanks!!!

Feather your selection, inverse the selection and delete.. or do it in a Mask (preferred)

example would be, you use your marque selection tool, and make a box selection, then go up to Selection menu and there should be "Feather"

K bare with me here, I'm using an OLD SCHOOL version of PS...i think version 5 or something...the selection menu does not have feather in it...probably why i couldnt do it in the first place....any other ideas?

oh o..

hmm ok easier way.. add a Mask to your layer. then use the BRUSH (one of those blurry/fuzzy bush like at 100pt) and draw around the edge with black in mask)

Haha okay if need be, that'll work. LOL RPM uses corel draw most of the time but they want me to do this stuff in Photo Shop :banghead: I need to make a note to tell them to upgrade...they're awfully behind lol. Thanks Calvin, you're awesome :thumbsup:
