Radial and gradient masks
Place light with a soft ellipse or a graduated transition.

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:09.000
A mask controls where the correction acts
A new neutral mask does not change the photograph.

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:15.800
Create a radial local
Use an ellipse for a soft pool of light.

00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:22.600
Inspect its coverage
The overlay shows selection; it is not the adjustment.

00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:28.600
Place the ellipse around the cup
Move and size it with the on-image handles.

00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:35.400
Inspect the shape controls
Radius changes the area. Feather blends its boundary.

00:00:35.400 --> 00:00:42.067
A shape can contribute less coverage
Opacity changes the effect; overlay strength changes only the display.

00:00:42.067 --> 00:00:48.867
Open Tone and lift this area
The sliders belong to the active local.

00:00:48.867 --> 00:00:54.867
Apply a modest lift
Start small and look for a natural transition.

00:00:54.867 --> 00:01:01.667
Hide the guides to judge the correction
The local remains enabled.

00:01:01.667 --> 00:01:08.467
Create a separate gradient
Use a gradual transition for one side of the scene.

00:01:08.467 --> 00:01:14.467
Move and rotate its transition
The centre line is half coverage; outer guides are about 10% and 90%.

00:01:14.467 --> 00:01:20.467
Darken the brighter side gently
Each local has independent correction values.

00:01:20.467 --> 00:01:27.267
Inspect Rotation and Softness
A wider transition usually suits gradual lighting.

00:01:27.267 --> 00:01:34.067
Compare without the mask display
Check the full image and the boundary at 100%.

00:01:34.067 --> 00:01:40.067
Keep or undo the edit
Completed moves and slider drags are saved as undoable edits.
