how to make a picture wider by letting it extend and merge in to color?


Getting close but need some more help / advice

Hi,

I managed now thanks to all the help I got to extend the header nicely so I'm getting really close now.

here is the left part of it, I did the same on the right side.

The last thing I would like to do now is to make the left part of the picture, meaning the pattern, fade into transparent. However not just getting the whole pattern transparent how I did between the pattern and the middle picture.
I would like to get the horizontal stripes of the pattern less and less more to the left, something like a matrix.

I mean that the pattern should not become transparent only less and less stripes and between the stripes should only be transparent background.

I hope you understand what I mean, How could I do this?

Thanks and regards,
Tom
 
No, I tried something like that already with the gradient tool.

I mean something like a horizontal stripe pattern that is getting thinner to the left with less stripes from the patchwork style pattern I used.
I want to do this like that because if using a white background behind that the background is visible through the stripes.

I am thinking about something like that only horizontal, the white part would be just transparent a background behind the image is shining through and the black dots / stripes would be stripes from my patchwork pattern.

Yes exactly, Thanks.

Only thing is that I want to create this effect using my existing pattern to create these these dots / stripes.

Anyway thanks a lot, how have you done that? I guess you somehow made the example image I posted transparent?

Just use Select - Color Range and click on the white area to sample off of. Change the fuzziness accordingly and it will give you a selection, just delete and the white will be gone :)
 
Thanks a lot, this is amazing and I think I will manage with that after playing around a little.

But how can I delete the selection ?

Regards,
Tom
 
Just press the delete key. Make sure that you've duplicated the background layer and work off the duplicate, otherwise you'll just fill the selection with a different color.
