Alpha fades


Im am struggling to do this simple thing, new to photoshop.

I want to take a picture and fade the edges into nothingness. Much like a gradient but the picture fades out based upon my selection, how can this be achieved??

Thanks

Add a Layer Mask (look in the Layers menu), and put a gradient in the mask.
