Hello, does anybody know how can I create the white line (which fade to the right side only) in the picture below?

I spend hours trying to create that line using the Pen tool in Photoshop and stroke it but fail

Something like this might be a start:

Use a Vector mask instead of a path:

I've just played with your question while an A3+ print was "baking". My solution is nowhere near as elegant as Rene's but it gets the job done.

I created a seperate layer to work on, then using the elipse tool, created a series of curves that copied your example. This I then "stroked" with white to a width of (in my example) 50 pixels and deleted any junk.

After that I just used a soft brush to erase one side of the stroked line and faded the whole layer so the background was visible through it.

As I said not elegant!

The beauty and the frustration of Photoshop is that every problem has twenty different ways of solving it.

Thanks a lot for your time.
