I don't know Photoshop, but the following works in GIMP (I imaging
that Photoshop is similar, if not GIMP is free).
* Select the area that you want to remove
* Switch to the Mask layer (with the buttons in the bottom left of the
image window)
* Use the blur filter to blur the mask
* Switch back to the image layer
* Delete the selected region (which, as its blurred, will give a fade
effect)
