Not really. You should use dedicated image manipulation software for
this, such as Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop Pro, or Microsoft Digital
Image.

Ed,

Are any of these programs typically come loaded on a computer?? I have
another question - can I insert a .pdf file into a page on a program in
Microsoft Publisher??

====================================
It's possible that you may have a limited OEM
version of a Digital Image Editing program.
Look in your Start menu and see what you can find.

The following 60 day trial version of Digital Image
has an option to fade the edges of a picture.

Microsoft Digital Image
Starter Edition 2006

(this product line has been
discontinued but you can still
down-load the Starter Version
and run it for 60 days)

Once your program is downloaded and installed...
open the image you wish to edit and go to...
Effects / Edges / Soft...drag the slider to achieve
the result you require.
