Right ho. You need the gradient tool in photoshop.
Pick the solid colour you need for the foreground colour in PS.
Choose the gradient tool.
In the second pull-down menu from top right, select the gradient
which fades from your colour to the transparent chequerboard.
On a new layer, drag the gradient tool to produce the fade effect.
Click undo. Do it again until you get the effect you want. The longer
you drag, the gentler the gradient.
