using a layer mask.

the image
(from left to right)

first layer and click “Add Layer Mask”.

(full opacity)” then click “Add”
4th: The “Add Layer Mask will appear but make sure it is selected in “White
(full opacity)” then click “Add”.

background color is black. After that, click the “Gradient tool” and do it the
way you wanted it. Then click “Enter”

Click it. And it should only have only one Layer. Then Save.

The Method uses the Fuzzy select tool – a fairly quick and precise method that can
be mastered easily

tool” and select the part of the image that you wish to
remove.
(it should have the “marching ants” around the area of the
image that you wish to keep)

“Delete” key, and then it should turns out like this, then save.
(but make sure the foreground is black and the background is
white)
