How to use Photoshop layers to express double gradient transparent backgrounds. The following tutorial mainly introduces some depth features of the most familiar Photoshop “layers”: the picture of this Hummer-H2 is very cool, but the background is bland and dull. The lack of depth does not bring out its beauty.
After processing with PS, the background becomes ethereal. It is not difficult to find that the background added in this picture is a gradient transition. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to achieve gradient transparency in PS whether it is selecting or cropping. Even with a transparent eraser, smooth transition is very time-consuming and laborious. The following method will definitely allow you to achieve your goal within 10 minutes.

Before processing
After processing
1. Open the picture:
2. Import the selected background image:
3. Adjust the position of the new image:
4. This step is the key: in layer basics, if you want to easily synthesize layered images while maintaining editing flexibility, the key lies in the application of layer masks. Select Layer>Add
Layer Mask>Show All:
5. When using a layer mask, the effect of drawing is to hide or show the layer content. Under normal circumstances, brush smearing will replace the original layer pixels.
6. Select the Brush Tool and select a Soft Edge Brush in the Brush Options. Soft brush edges will help us create soft transitions in the mask. The foreground color is set to black. (When the mask is selected, the foreground and background colors default to grayscale values)
7. Start painting in the mask with a black brush to hide the excess parts of the new layer:
8. With trembling hands, I painted on the mask the areas that should not disappear. That’s okay, that’s the beauty of masks: the white brush paints in the wrong places, haha. Image recovery!
9. Shortcut key D, switches the foreground/background color of the color palette; shortcut key X, switches between the default foreground color and background color.
10. I still like the clouds on the original layer. Duplicate the layer and pin it to the top.
11. Learn, practice, and do it again. Select Layer > Add Layer Mask > Reveal All.
12. For the same mask, we don’t need a brush this time. Select the gradient tool and use a linear gradient from black to white:
13. Drag the gradient upward from the bottom of the frame to create a smooth transition from black to white in the area from the gradient’s start point to its end point. The image gradually changes and the opacity mask hides it. (In the screen�The car is actually on layer 1, and only the clouds remain on this layer)
14. Observe it and find that the color of the imported layer is inconsistent with the original image, as shown in the figure:
15. Adjust it to purple, it will be almost the same as the original picture
16. How about it, you are already feeling a bit fairy-like.
17. Close your eyes —— It’s not you, it’s the mask on the layer panel, select the outline of the car (you can choose whatever you want):
18. Open your eyes:
19. The effect is seen:
20. Layer adjustment:
21. Please note that I am using an ancient P3 for this tutorial, and the color temperature of the monitor is not accurate, so please bear with me!
22. You’re done! Gradient transparent background, done in 10 minutes.
