Aloha Matt,
No doubt there are several ways to do it but this is how I do it in Photoshop:
1. On the tool pallette select the color you want the feather to be, black for a black page etc. Put the color in the background of the two color sample squares.
2. Use the Rectangular Marquee Tool to place the dotted lines close to the edges of the photo. I just eyeball it.
3. Go to "Select" "Inverse"
4. Go to "Select" "Feather" (type in the size of the feathering you want. I use 3 pixels.
5. Hold down the "Ctrl", "Alt" and "Backspace" keys. That will apply the feathering.
6. Hold down the "Ctrl" and "D" keys to get rid of the Marquee tool.

Aloha richhagelin,
The photos are from random patch reefs at 70 feet in the Makena area of South Maui. More specifically, I launch my dive kayak from Makena Landing, paddle out, then use a hand held depth finder to choose a depth to drop down and drift on.

I love the colors of your subjects.
Do you know if your feathering technique will work in PS Elements?

IMO, you should never use digital zoom........you can disable it in your menu palette
