Fading drop shadows

This tutorial will explain you how to make drop shadows on some part of your image only. For example, I have my blank background and an other layer on it, white too. (I've put a light grey border so that you can see it.) Duplicate this layer and put it below the original one.
Double click on the layer copy to go to the layer style. Add some drop shadow (check "Drop Shadow") and modify the settings so that it looks good. I set the distance to 0 on mine.

Press Ctrl + T to free transform it. Drag the corners as you like, while pressing Ctrl.
Here is the result :)
