Gradient Mask
Hi I’m trying to create a tilt/shift look in AE, I have tried to make the blur with a simpel mask and then feathered the edges but it doesn’t get as smooth as It need to be. So my question is, how do you create a gradient mask?
See this page: https://recedinghairline.co.uk/tutorials/fakemodel/
for better understanding of what I’m trying to accomplish.

Sometimes AE and Photoshop don’t work in quite the same way. You could create your gradient in photoshop and import it. Then use the gradient as a track matte for an adjustment layer???

That tutorial describes how to make a gradient mask.
You can “paint” a selection with feathered edges using a grayscale gradient in the Quick Mask mode. White will be selected, black ignored, and grays will represent different amounts of effect in the selected pixels.
You can also control the feathering “or blurring” by making a selection of the pixels you want to blur and then giving the selection a large feather value. The edges of the selection will then blur the amount of the effect you apply to the selection.

s there another method for the gradient mask because this only works for lens blur. I want to apply a gradient mask to the exposure effect to change the exposure of a picture via gradient from left to right.
