Or any other variations you can do with the pic on the black document....

Just create a new image with a black background. Drop in your image on a layer above the background and layer mask the pick with a soft edged brush.

What size brush? and what else, so il know?

[tx51210]

Depends on the size and area you are masking. I use the [ and ] keys to change the brush sizes and mostly use the "Soft Round" Brush shapes. I used larger on the right and smaller on the bottom, left and top. Layer masks are reversable so play with it till you get one that works right. I masked off the right then changed the brush back to white to restore a round shape to her forehead.
