You can knock out the black with 3 options: 1. Selection -> color range -> select black -> apply a layer mask from the black selection to the layer 2. Quick selection tool -> deactivate “contiguous” in the settings -> click on black color in the image -> apply a layer mask from the black selection to the layer 3. Layer style of the layer -> section color range -> this layer -> adjust the slider for the black value towards white until all black has disappeared from the image
