Configuration Radial adjustment mask

Question

Is there a way to configure the radial adjustment mask in Photoshop to match the view in Lightroom CC, where two circles are visible and adjustable? In Photoshop, only the outer circle appears. It's only with this mask.

​@Wil1305No, it isn’t possible.The radial mask in Lightroomcontrols the softness of the transition edgedragging the inner circle.In Photoshop you can do the with moving the little rectangle on the line (see screenshot).

The one in Lightroom is only an adjustment mask, and it is only an opacity mask. And, it only has two values, starting and ending, which you balance using the Feather option. But that’s it.

The gradients in Photoshop have many more controls. You can use a Photoshop gradient on a mask, but also (unlike Lightroom) as a full content layer. And the gradients have more than just starting and ending values, because you can add any number of stops at any point along a gradient. So a gradient in Photoshop can have multiple stops all set to different colors, in addition to opacity stops. In a mask, you can have multiple stops set to different tones.

So where Lightroom has only two circles to control it, in Photoshop you can add as many as you need.
