If you want the transparent effect like in photoshop, you need to use an alpha channel. See this question.

If you want to composite the image with another background, you can use the alpha matting formula I = aF+(1-a)B, where a the alpha, F the foreground and B the background. Like this:

ex_alpha = np.repeat(alpha[:, :, np.newaxis], 3, axis=2)
output = (foreground*ex_alpha) + (1-ex_alpha)*background

The repeat exists because foreground/background are 3-channels while alpha is 1-channel.
