P: Square Gradient Tool

Can we get a square gradient tool, and not just the radial one?  Think "editing windows in a house".  Not every shape in a photo is a circle, so why don't we have a square gradient tool?  Cheers!

    There needs to be a rectangular mask option that works like the radial (circular) mask option. All too often I have rectangular objects that need to be masked. The linear gradient that has always been a part of Lightroom is stupidly limited; it SHOULD function like the radial gradient which would make it far more useful. I do a lot of architectual photography and am always dealing with windows, 99% of which are rectagular, not circular. There should likewise be a rectangular brush option for the same reason. Case closed.

      "Zusätzliche Maskenauswahl: rechteckiger Verlauf "

       

      Es wäre durchaus sinnvoll, wenn es zu den vorhandenen Masken auch einen "rechteckigen Verlauf" geben würde. Bei dem man die Ecken nach Belieben verschieben könnte. Es muss ja nicht immer ein Rechter Winkel sein. Diese Auswahl würde dann benötigt, wo der ovale oder runde Verlauf nicht so treffsicher sind.

      Additional mask selection: rectangular gradient

       

      It would be quite useful if there were also a "rectangular gradient" in addition to the existing masks. This option would allow you to move the corners as desired. It doesn't always have to be a right angle. This option would be useful where the oval or round gradient isn't as accurate.

        Thank you! I am a real estate photographer and have so many square corners to brush over! I came here to specifically request this feature and you beat me to it! 

        Square paintbrush and gradient tools please!

        Also a square paintbrush tool?  It's nearly impossible to make a perfect square corner with a round paintbrush.
