To obtain right pictures without black background you must follow strategy:

first create your new image item set it's alphablending to false set it's savealpha to true fil it with transparent rectangle copy your grayed picture over it

your code will be similar to this :

        switch ($handle->file_src_name_ext) {
          case 'gif':
            $sourceIm = imagecreatefromgif($savepath.$handle->file_dst_name);
            break;
          case 'jpg':
            $sourceIm = imagecreatefromjpeg($savepath.$handle->file_dst_name);
            break;
          case 'png':
          default:
            $sourceIm = imagecreatefrompng($savepath.$handle->file_dst_name);
            break;
        }


        $iw = imagesx($sourceIm);
        $ih = imagesy($sourceIm);

        $im = imagecreatetruecolor($iw, $ih);

        if (function_exists('imagecolorallocatealpha')) {
            imagealphablending($im, false);
            imagesavealpha($im, true);
            $transparent = imagecolorallocatealpha($im, 255, 255, 255, 127);
            imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, $iw, $ih, $transparent);
        }
        if ($sourceIm ) {
          imagefilter($sourceIm, IMG_FILTER_GRAYSCALE);
        }
        imagecopyresampled($im, $sourceIm, 0, 0, 0, 0, $iw, $ih, $iw, $ih);
        switch ($handle->file_src_name_ext) {
          case 'gif':
            imagepng($im, $savepath.'grd'.$row->id.'.gif');
            break;
          case 'jpg':
            imagejpeg($im, $savepath.'grd'.$row->id.'.jpg');
            break;
          case 'png':
          default:
            imagepng($im, $savepath.'grd'.$row->id.'.png');
            break;
        }

goodluck!
