To soften images - and/or the edges - by going into Image - Blur - Gausian Blur and moving a sliding bar to change the blurriness of the picture. To make just the sides or corners blurry, the picture first has to be duplicated (in the separate Layer mini-wondow on the right of the screen, click and drag the image (labeled background) to the bottom of the column to an icon that looks like a sticky-note pad and hover, than release, the mouse - still holding image - over the icon). Blur the duplicated image, as above, then click on the eraser tool. In the left on the screen, just above the large, blurry image you are using, there are icon you can click on the change the size, opacity and hardness of the eraser. Change the size to about half as tall as the picture is, the opacity to between 5 and 20 (uses a sliding bar) and the hardess (sliding bar also) to around 20 or lower. Over the center of the picture (or where ever you want), click once and use circular motions until you're happy with the effect.
Adobe has a gradient tool (located with the fill tool). Creating a new layer (same icon as to duplicate a layer) and filling it with a gradient and then changing the density of the gradient. Some of the gradients can over lap, generally creating an interesting effect.
There is also the option to Liquify the picture, this gives the option to make a photo look like an ink painting (of sorts) or make the subject of the photo stand out.
