THANKS AGAIN for the advice

Regarding the Gradient tool I get lost at this point "The I use the Gradient tool, set to Foreground to transparent, to add in the new BG color."

I am a fairly new user and what I did learn was several years ago but have generally used Lightroom since, forgetting most of what I did know

I actually like the look of the first image vs the second. No ugly line to deal with

But one more question: in the first image the left side looks like a much smoother transition where the lower right side (by the root beer can)

looks much rougher. Is there a way to fix that?

Thanks again!
