      Hello, Im using photoshop 6, and Im trying to apply an effect for a banner photo, that will be consistent for other banner photos of the same size.

       

      I've attached a photo of this.


      As you can see the gradient (which contains the text) starts with a grey color then transitions to white. The right edge that meets the blue sky isnt a hard edge but rather a soft edge.


      Im not sure how to create that soft edge. Someone else had mentioned to use the gradient with colors from grey to white then to transparent to create that soft right edge.  Im not sure how to set that up.

       

      I used a brush in this case, and as you can see, the line is uneven.


      Also I believe the Filter used here is Ripple or Ocean Ripple.

       

      I was hoping if someone could walk me through what the correct steps would be to create that effect, so that I can use this consistently for several photos
