Simple Feather-Fade Effect (Adobe PS Tutorial)

This is copied from my old blog:

Note*: This is not the stuff I'd normally post but I was bored one day so I decided to make some random crap. Enjoy for PS newbies.
You can also do this if you don't want to render, but instead add a cool effect that will remove the outer stuff of the image. There's also tools like gradient covering, but I find this much easier.

- Mind you, I'm not so much of a GFX maniac or expert myself but I'd like to contribute to you. Thanks!
