I'll show you how you can make a selection of a gradient very easily with this simple trick. It might not seem so essential but the contrary is true. You would never have imagined the amount of things you can do with it. Whether you want to add a stylized and customized vignette or you wanted to add a light leak. All this can be done very quickly using this simple trick. Besides, selection of gradient will also allow you to create beautiful background blur in no time. Gradient selection is totally different from feathering selection. If you make a selection a feather it, yes, the edges will get soft, but the problem is, all the edges on all sides will become soft, Whereas when you make a gradient selection, only those edges will be soft which you have defined. SUMMARY: To make a gradient selection, select the gradient tool in Photoshop and then make sure the gradient color is from black to transparent. Now, press Q, this will get you in Quick Mask mode. Make the gradients wherever you like and then press Q again. Now, we need to invert the gradient. to do that Press Ctrl/Cmd +Shift+ I and then apply the filter, effect or adjustment of your choice. The possibilities are endless, from light leaks to customizable Instagram-like filters, you can do them all

Thanks so much for all the great tutorials, Unmesh!
If you are used to visibility changes not being undoable there is one SERIOUS downside to enabling this feature. If you go back to an earlier step in your history and change visibility ALL OF THE STEPS FROM THAT POINT ON WILL DISAPPEAR. I discovered this the hard way after the last PS update which enabled the feature without notice. I lost an hour's worth of retouching when I jumped back in my history for a look at something and toggled the visibility of a layer - all my work after that point vanished. BEWARE!

Once you make the selection using Q, why don't you create a layer mask. Second question: is there a way to colorize or quick mask the white and black areas of the layer mask in the image. So I might have a tree in the layer mask and I wan't to identify in the image what parts of the tree are selected in the layer mask. Thanks

On my 2019 Photoshop, there is no multiple gradients, only one. If I apply another it will replace the previous one. So how do I make use of multiple gradients?
