I was able to use the layer mask tool and I can create a fade but I need the fade to have the effect of almost like getting a spray can moving right and father back from the canvas. I have a blue background similar on its own layer and I need the photo on top. I would think I need to create a layer underneath the photo a bit bigger?
Can someone walk me thru?
I’m on a Mac
A pic of the the exact effect is in the attached
any help
