Fade edges of a fill layer

[cydonia195]

I have a layer filled with an image that repeats. It's basically a rectangle. I would like to be able to fade the edge of the rectangle to white. My printer doesn't support borderless printing. I can't bevel the design because it's a lot of lines and empty space. Can someone recommend how to add a layer or effect that will allow me to fade the edges? M

Hi cydonia195

You could mask the fill layer, invert it and then 'paint away' the edges with a semi opaque brush? It depends on the kind of fade you're looking for, linear or random?
