Photo fade out

Can I create a fade from a photo that will blend into the background? I want to get rid of the 'hard' lines on the outside edges of the photo and have the whole photo blend into the background. But, keeping the photo as visable as possible.
With the transparency tool i cannot reach the effect I am looking for, or am I not doing something right?
All help would be appreciated

  • Jeff Harrison is missing the chance to upsell this time. There is a macro on his site that is part of the woxxom tools package called Transparent Edge. Costs $10 for the set. Worth every penny, because you can make any edge (bitmap, curve or text) transparent, curved, straight or otherwise, and it is STILL editable. I'm not sure why this isn't a standard feature in Corel by now (sorry jeff). If a shadow can follow an edge, a transparency or fill should be able to also.

    I've got this macro set and I love it.
