Step Seven:
So, click on the Add Layer Mask icon to add a layer mask to this layer, as well. Then, get the Gradient tool again (it will still be set to the Black, White
gradient, and Linear Gradient style). However, this time you’re going to fade away that hard edge on the right, so you’re going to click the Gradient tool
just inside the right edge and drag to the left (as shown here. I put another red line with an arrow here, showing where you start [at the red circle] and where
to drag over to the left. That thin black line you see above my red arrow, again, is the line that appears when you drag the Gradient tool). When you drag, it
fades the edge of that champagne glass layer away.

Step Eight:
The final step is to make that champagne glass layer a little more transparent, so it doesn’t take attention off our bride in the center. So, go near the top right
of the Layers panel and just lower the Opacity of this layer to around 60%. I also switched back to the Move tool and moved this image a little more to the
left. The final image is shown here.
