Transparent baaaaaaar.., with a twist ? Options

[lovescream]

I'm looking for something similar to this : http://www.createblog.com/tutorials/download.php?id=597

but not exactly. And yeah, for Photoshop.

I want it like that exact transparent bar, but not all the way across the image, and no top & bottom border. In like just fits for the word and then it fades out.. You know? ^^" If you don't, I'll try to find some examples.

A layer mask would be much neater then using the lasso tool. Create your bar however you want it to look then. I would reccomend doing the bar to the end of the picture, it will make the fading smoother.

Make sure you have the right layer selected, and got to Layer >> Add Layer Mask >> reveal all. Then click on the gradient tool (while the layer mask is still selected, the picture next to the layer icon should be outlined in blue)

Make the foreground white and the background black on your color toolbar. Start where you want the fade to start, and end where you want the fade to end with the gradient tool. This will create a fade.

If you need me to do a post with pictures, let me know. I'm not good at explaining things, sorry.
