: How to Create a gradual fadeout signature in Photoshop I want to create a signature line like the attached picture with Photoshop: I asked the photographer who has this signature, and he

I think on other hand, instead of deleting the layer by setting up a feather value, I would approach the same by non-destructive method.

Using the layer mask.
Once you have designed the background panel, apply layer mask.
And use the gradient to to get the soft finish merging effect.
You can also transform the mask, by unlinking it from layer.

Below is the sample image I quickly created.

To do this exactly as you've requested:

You will need two layers, one is the document background and one has your signature on it.

Next, hold cmd (Mac) or ctrl (windows) and click on the thumbnail image of the signature in the layers panel, this will highlight the edges of the signature. Alternatively you can right click the layer and choose Select Pixels.

Now, choose Select >> Modify >> Feather from the top menu bar.

Enter 25px on the dialog box that appears.

Now you want to inverse the selection with Select >> Inverse from the menu, this will highlight the rest of the image instead of the signature body. Now when you hit delete it will remove the edges of the signature.

Once done, you can mess with the opacity of the layer to get the desired effect.
