In Photoshop you can just work a selection with the pen tool.

Use pen tool to make a line around your image.
Once you complete the circle right click and make selection.
For the feather value you can change to whatever value you want. Larger means there's a larger area for the gradient.
Now maybe you need to invert selection I dunno. You want the outside selected.
Then just hit delete.

Or if you really want extra work you can use quickmask mode. Which might work similarly to what Green suggested in Gimp, I'm not sure. At any rate, if you want I have a video tut for that. ;P
