In fact, this simple effect can be achieved in 3 simple steps that you will not take more than 5 minutes to learn and apply. 

Step 1: Just simply open your photo in Photoshop. Choose the "Rectangular Marquee Tool" and enter a value of 150 into the text input for Feather on the top. 

Step 2: Select the area in the photo where you wish to preserve. Anything that is not selected will fade off into the background.

Step 3: After you had selected the area, right click on the photo and choose "Select Inverse". This is very important because you will deleting off the area you wanted to preserve if  this is not done. After the inverse is selected, just simply press Crtl+X or cut to cut away those unwanted area.
