I'm afraid I cannot locate the brush set for erasing borders too! It's a pity!
Looking forward to your reply... |

May be you've got these mistakes:
-You didnt select the right layer which contains image that you wanna clear the border.
Layer mask -> use brush tool to erase inside border. Layer (normal) -> use eraser tool to clear outside border. Did you select the wrong layer? |

The retouching is poor! beginner-style. Look the area of the sofa corner fades into the two other pictures- not clean, rough and too hard. The idea is good! |
