Question about image effects

[Lemmy]

Here's how I do it (in PS):

1. Create a new layer under your image. Fill it with whatever you want the background color to be.

2. Select the rectangular marquee tool. Set a feather value that gives he amount of blur you want (higher number = more blur).

3. Select your image slightly in from the edge.

4. Right click -> select inverse, hit delete.

5. You're done!
