Hi,

I have been starting out with photoshop recently and currently in the process of making some dvd covers of some movies of our little on at xmas etc.

Have managed background colours, borders, text and the move tool.

I have imported two images using "place and got them to the size and place i want them.

What I would like to know how to do is, how do I fade the 4 edges of the two photos into the background colour?

Thanks

Marco

Sorry I can't help you but you may be better saying which Photoshop version you're using in order for somebody to tell you where the particular thing you're looking for is.

Thanks Stubert, its's CS3

easiest way is to use the dodge tool.
experiment with the brush diameter req and also the strength.

How about this:

Easiest way would be to select one of the images from it's original image, feather the selection by a few pixels (in the selection menu), then cut and paste it into the new image.

The proper advanced techniques involve using the masks properly.
