Misty Edges
In this tutorial, you will learn how to achieve edges which are covered with a veil of mist. The following functions will be used: 
- copy, 
- paste and 
- convert to seamless pattern.
Step 1: 
Open your desired image and increase the colour depth to 16 million colours if your image is not already at this colour depth i.e. "colours - increase colour depth - 16 million colours". Using the selection tool, select the part of the image you want and copy it.
Step 2: 
Create a new image with dimensions twice the size of your selection. The colour of the mist will be the background colour so select the colour you want now. In this tutorial, I have chosen white as my background colour. Paste the image as a new selection in the centre of this new image and keep it selected. 
Step 3: 
Now click "selections - convert to seamless pattern". This will create a new image for you with the mist surrounding the image.  
This technique can also be made to make backgrounds as a seamless tiled pattern will be created for you using this function.
