I'm creating a promotional flyer in Illustrator for a new product but after inserting the product photo it looks like garbage. I took the photo in raw, edited in Lightroom, removed the background in Photoshop, saved it as a PNG and then drag and dropped into Illustrator. The image file is 12x12" at 300 resolution. I shrank it down to 2x2" on flyer. If you zoom on the image you can see a few spots I missed when removing the background which I will clean up while I wait for a response here (I might ask another question for tips on that process).

So the question is, what can I do to make the bottle look better on the black background? To me, the transparency of the glass is where the issue lies but dropping the opacity ruins the label. I'm not sure if I can accomplish better blending in Illustrator or if I'm going to have to go back into Photoshop to prepare it better. Thank you in advance!
