The Plugin Site

I am looking for a plugin that will allow me to use multiple gradients on a layer.

When I am blending an image on a layer and want to fade out in more than one direction - I find I have to apply the layer mask before I can add a second direction which destroys the integrity of the layer.

Is there such a beast?

Have a a look at the Alpha Tool plugin from Plugin Galaxy. See http://www.thepluginsite.com/products/plugingalaxy/. Hopefully that's what you are looking for.
