4. Take the Elliptical Marquee tool, place an oval around the part of the image you want to be lighter.
5. Right click on the photo and chose Feather.
6. Set the feather to 200 pixels.

BEFORE

You can do this on any photo you want. It obviously will not work on a background that is already black. I mostly love using it for outdoor photos. It gives the picture a nice rich look to it.
