what the faded edges? select the layer. click add layer mask. add a gauss blur to the layer mask.

but phos is right. what exactly are you talking about. there’s a lot of effects going on there. the fade edges is just the most obvious one (to me).

The effect looks to be a combination of a "vignette" effect, that is to say, the darkening of the borders of the image in order to highlight the central focus. The extremely easy way to achieve this effect is by making an eliptical selection that is centered on your subject (in this case the woman). Next, invert your selection and then apply feathering to the selection (variable depending on your image size) and then fill the selection with your background color.

The (slightly) more complex method involves creating a mask of your eliptical selection so that you can apply the effect variably without destroying the original background layer.

There also seems to be a "glow" effect around the woman, but that could be an illusion based on contract from the vignette effect. If it is a glow, it’s a matter of masking of the woman (or other subject) and creating a layer mask and applying a layer-effect outside glow to the layermask with a Lighten layer mode (which will render the mask invisible, yet apply the glow to the layer below).

Good luck! Also google the terms "photoshop vignette effect" and also layer masks and layer effect glow.
