I'm working on creating this effect:

I'm stuck on the part where it creates depth of field by blurring around the edges of the picture.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Create a clone of the original image, blur it. add a alpha channel using "-matte" now clone it again and create a -vigenation with a transparent background, and compose it with the blured image using 'DstOut' so you get a blurry image with a transparent center. Overlay that on the original image.

When you have the command worked out, let me know it I can add it to IM examples, as payment

Alternative, if you have the latest IM use the newly fixed 3 image composite masking to merge the images together.
