1. Use selection tool
   
2. Set feather to ~ 5-7 (play around with it)
   
3. Select the part of the image you want to use
   
4. Invert the selection (Shift+Ctrl+I)
   
5. Press "Delete" on your keyboard
   
6. Invert again
   
7. Image -> Crop

is you are using photoshop 6 or above - just switch to imageready (photoshops webfriendly 'lil brother)

there is a 'rounded rectangle selection' tool, which lets you adjust the rounding of the corners. use this to select the bits of the image you want to keep, use >select > inverse and hit delete.

Anyone know how can I do this in PaintShop?
