I have a jpg in Elements. How can I draw a rectangle in the image, color it white and feather the edges? I have tried everything and am not sure it can be done. Sounds odd but it's to design a book cover. Thank you for any suggestions.

Here is  another way to do it:

  • With your new layer selected, draw your rectangle
  • [Optional] In the Marquee tool's options, click on the Refine Edge button.  This will open another dialog where you can adjust the feather amount:
