hit CTRL + I to inverse selection
then Filter -> Distort -> Lens Correction and adjust the vignetting to your liking...
but there are also other things involved to make the rest of it...
cheers. | i see no option for lens correction | |

| just took a few seconds:   
it's interesting to see how the elliptical marquee differs from the rectangular one. I used the elliptical in the shot of the porsche (1st pic)
