Using GIMP, I wish to fade an image inward from the edges, blending it with the neutral (white) background.

I have tried numerous things including feather edges, blur and Gaussian blur, but none of them produces a good result. Specifically, they all appear to blend the image outward or in both directions. I wish to fade the image inward from the edges, and without loss.

A tedious manual technique that I believe might work would be to:


select the background
grow the selection by 1 pixel
adjust the brightness, then
repeat 2. and 3. as many times as necessary


However, it strikes me that there is probably a tool that performs the same function.

The technique that I describe above as 'tedious' proved to be less so than I had imagined. I attained a good result rather quickly by selecting the background, and progressively (one pixel at a time) growing the selection and adjusting the brightness of the selection.

Whilst I applied the same adjustment of brightness each time, one could conceivably tailor it to give different blur effects.
