Hi,
Is there a way to apply multiple gradients using gradient tool to a single adjustment layer mask? It can be just one type, let's say black,white.
Thank's in advance.

Hey jabar2 , as was mentioned in the tutorial that Ged linked you with, the trick is to use the Foreground to transparent preset in the Gradient editor with Black set as your foreground color. You can then make as many linear or radial gradient in any direction on the layer mask you desire.

It somehow doesn't work for me. I was lookin for some way to do it in photoshop like you do it in camera raw using Graduated Filter. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJoFhH6kss8 . But I don't have camera raw in my Filter menu. I have CS4, is there any way to add camera raw as a filter in CS4?
I know it won't apply the graduated filter to a mask, but it might be usefull anyway.

If you don't have or for some reason can't get CR, you can use Photoshop to mimic a graduated filter: https://www.google.com/#q=Photoshop+graduated+light+filter

Remember you can place a gradient on it's own layer above the Original. Set the gradient layers blending mode to overlay or soft light.
