Hi everyone,

One thing I often want to do is the following:
- select a region of the canvas
- apply some black-to-white gradient to the selection
- adjust the level on the selection according to the gradient
(to be clear, the gradient shouldn't be seen in the end result, it's just a tool for applying the adjustment).

What is the quickest way to do this?

It's something that I want to be able to do quickly, so that I can apply on different regions without interupting to much the flow. Bonus if it doesn't require too much changes of tools and colours.

Thanks for any help!

Why not just use filter masks? They work like transparency masks, so you could make a levels-filter mask and draw a black and white gradient on the mask bit.

So there was a trivial solution... Okay I go back RTFM!

Thank you very much for your answer!
