Giving Photo's a Vignette Edge
In Draw, right click the photo and choose edit in image editor. PhotoMagic will open and display your photo. Use the mask tool to outline the area where you want the photo to begin to fade away. You should see "marching ants" around your selection.
Next, go the mask menu and choose feather mask. In the dialog, I used the following settings: Amount = 40 pixels, Edge = Soft, Direction = Outside. Then click ok. (Play around with these settings to get different effects.... you can use the ruby overlay in the view menu to get an idea how it will look and hit undo if you aren't happy with the amount of feathering, etc...)
Now go to the Mask menu and choose invert mask. Click the paint bucket and choose the solid fill. Make sure white is the active color and then click the paint bucket somewhere outside the area you initially selected. Now go to the mask menu and choose remove mask.
Go to file, then choose Exit and Return to Draw. Once you are in Draw you can double click the photo, then pick the dropout color tool (it's the eyedropper with a plus sign... but if you ask me it should be a minus sign since you are dropping OUT the color) and click in the white background of your photo.
