Using the effect will give you two selections back that you can use to add any effect too.

Usage:
As example, add the effect Selection Creator - Linear Gradient to your image.
Now hover above the Effects Gallery button and you will see a window popup as seen in the image below.
Choose for either Mask or Not Mask to add an effect to the specific selection.

Added improved versions of the gradient selections effects!

Selection Creator V2 - Conical Gradient
Selection Creator V2 - Linear Gradient
Selection Creator V2 - Radial Gradient

The previous version did darken the selection a bit, now the selections are not visible on your photo anymore, the selections still there of course

Other changes:
Conical Gradient effect does have the selections named: Conical1 and Conical2
Linear Gradient effect does have the selections named: Top and bottom
Radial Gradient effect does have the selections named: Inner and Outer

Also it's now possible to make the Radial Gradient an ellipse form, this will give you the ability to make a light spot in your image, or to add a pool of water in your image and I'm sure there are many many more possibilities I would love to see!

Here a preview of the Selection Creator V2 - Radial Gradient in action:

If there is any interest in the waterpool as effect, let me know and I see what I can do.. I just don't want to spoil all the creative editing fun from you

Hope the effect are useful for any of you!
