How do I make images fade out like this around the edges?

>>288879
better question, what trickery of the blend tool is used to create that vector texture?

>>288879
Halftones. Doable in Photoshop with Color Halftone, Illustrator with the built-in halftone effect (better with the Phantasm plugin), or Clip Studio Paint with Tone. I'm sure many other programs can also do it.

"halftones" is a printing technique to generate color range and gradients prior to process band printing.

While the effect name in PS and AI is accurate, you referring to "images fade out like this around the edges" as halftones isn't inherently accurate.

In photoshop just blur whatever you want to do that then apply the halftone effect, at least that's how I remember doing it, can't check since I dont have ps installed.

like this

In terms of the fading part, use the circle tool to make a selection, blur that selection a bit, then hit delete to make it fade out. Like the rest of them said, if you're looking for the specific pattern that's halftone, plenty of brushes around.

You can do this with bitmapping on Photoshop as well:
-Make your black and white image with the fade/gradient
-go to Image > Mode > Bitmap (change mode to Greyscale if Bitmap isn't selectable)
-Select Halftone Screen from the Method menu and whatever DPI you want depending on how big you want your image
-Select frequency of dots
-Select "Round" under shape menu

You could drop this into another document by Ctrl+clicking the Bitmap Channel in the channel tab and then selecting inverse. This will give you a selection of just the black
