PhotoShop CS2 - Blur How do you soften/blur the edges of a picture? I usually select the middle of my picture, and then inverse and blur. The problem is you can see the oval outline and it does not look natural. Thanks for your help.

Feather it so the edges aren't defined.

Gregory's suggestion to feather the selection will work if you just want to blur the edge. The steps following your method are: 1. Make your selection. 2. Invert your selection. 3. Choose Select>Modify>Feather and feather the selection (you will use more feathering for larger images.) 4. Blur A similar way to do this depends more on layers: One of the advantages you have here is that the change you are making ends up on a separate layer, you can reduce the opacity (to make it act more like a soft-focus effect, for example), change modes, mask, and apply other adjustments to the blurred or original areas independently.
