Tfansparant edges on photo for web

Help anyone - this is driving me crazy and goes (I think) beyond the 'how to create a transparant gif'
I want to publish a photo of a bride on my new website. The effect I want is for the photo to get more and more transparant as you move to the edges.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

This thread will be moved because its in the wrong forum, but I will help you out here anyway.

If you want progressive transparency in a photo for the internet, the file format that allows for that in a web browser is PNG-24.

You can save in this format by going to "save for web", select PNG-24 as the file format, and select "transparency" to get the edge effect you want.

Beware though. PNG-24 gives you images that are very large in file size for webpage graphics. You can use them, but using too many could make your website unbearably slow to load for other people.

You "could" also save as a transparent GIF. However, GIF only allows for total transparency, not variable levels of transparency like you are wanting. It also only allows for 256 colors maximum. The positive to using transparent GIFs is smaller file sizes. You can save your files in this format the same way I described saving as PNG-24. In the file format box, just make sure its set to GIF.
