Assuming you haven't already used up the free trial of Photoshop CS6 there will be one available for you at the Adobe website.

Once you have downloaded and installed the 30 day free trial you can follow this very easy tutorial on how to remove black or white backgrounds with an example image very similar to yours.

Be aware though: In the example you have above there are black areas of the football which you don't want faded out, therefore you need to separate the actual football to another layer to not have it affected by the "black-background-removal-procedure". This is probably easiest done with the Oval marque tool, drag to select the football using the tool then right click and select "Copy selection to new layer" (or similar wording). Give it a try, and if it turns out the way you want it immediately then great, but if not then give YouTube another try to find other tutorials on how to remove backgrounds.

Good luck!
