two way gradient ???

Postby bigcheez » Sat Feb 13, 2010 10:31 am

I am unable to figure this one out and have tried many combinations.
I want a gradient that will fade dark on lower edge to light on top edge.
I wish it to also fade from opaque on the right edge to transparent on the left edge.
Thing will be clearer if you look at the attachment.
Any suggestions?

Use gradient for top down colors, use a mask for opaque/transparent effect ;)
