Clarifiction please. Are  you looking for assistance in creating this project or are you looking for someone to bid on creating the project. I am unsure which you are asking for. Maybe I need some sleep.

Ah, but there's a caveat, Richard - he specified that he wanted to use this
as a background image. Not all browsers will do a transparent background
image.

not necessarily, Ted. If it was truly flattened, yes, there would be no
transparency. If, however, there is no background behind some of the
transparencies from the vignetting/feathering and the person exports the
image out as a PNG and selects "transparent background", then no, it would
not be fully flattened and the image would have transparency.

While all modern browsers (meaning the latest version of whatever browser
brand you use) support PNG transparency as "regular" images, if you put an
image with transparency and set it as the background image for the BODY tag
.... well, I don't know that all browsers will "honor" that transparency (I
believe that IE still balks at this). Now you can set other DIVs in your
HTML to have background images with transparency and those will work fine...
it's just the setting of the very bottom/root item, the BODY tag that may be
a problem.

I'm clueless but what immediately came to mind was compose in paint, then use sizable smudge brush to do some blending even if you have to past your center shot back in again?
