Custom faded borders

[Francis230897]

I was wondering how to apply or make my own faded transparent borders like in the app "story art". I've attached image for reference. I have high quality photos that I want to apply the border too.

transparency is normally added by adding a layer mask.  Boarders can also be added other ways  like adding upper layers that add frames and mats,  boarders etc to lower layers. these overlay the lower image layer or layers.
