Gradient Overlay - Develop Module

[Villebon]

How can I substract an area from the gradient overlay in the develop module?

Hi @Villebon,

Develop persona Gradient overlay can't be erased/subtracted from as it stands, the overlay erase tool will only work on brush overlays. This will be to preserve the editability of the Gradient overlay, allowing you to adjust the gradient's position later on. If you switch over to the Photo persona this will allow more finite control over gradients via the use of gradient mask layers in conjunction with adjustments.

Hi NathanC,

Thanks for the answer. However, this is something that has been available to Lightroom users since at least 2016 and it now can be even intersected. There is still of lot of work to be done to the Develop module as it looks a bit underdeveloped to say the least.
