I was able to complete this on one image but when I saved and went back to this project again to complete it with another image, it wont work. The image still has a harsh edge compared to flawlessly disapearing. I did all the same steps and I looked at each of the settings and I can't solve this problem.

I don't know what clicking I had done, but I fixed it haha.

Is it an RGB document? Can you check your black stop in the gradient?

Good to hear that clicking helped.

How is the transparency being applied to the image? Is it being done via another object being used as a mask? Either way the zero opacity level in the transparency gradient is falling outside the left edge of the image. That gradient stop has to be moved within the left edge of the image for there to be a smooth fall off to complete transparency.
