Which version of PSE are you using? There are several ways to do this, e.g. feathering a selection when using the magnetic lasso tool, or with a mask, etc.

In PSE2024, when you open the Guided edit tab in the editor, there is a Vignette effect wish may be suitable for your purpose.

It would help if you post the picture here on the forum. This will help us to provide more targeted suggestions.
