I am trying to create a mask using the gradient tool. When I drag the tool from the top down all is fine, my problem comes when I drag from the side in......PS cancels my first gradient. I am trying to create a gradient box on this layer but I can only do it on one side........any help would be appreciated. I know this can be done, I just dont know what Im doing wrong. Im using CS 3 on a windows based computer.

Try adding your second gradient to a new layer when you bring it in from the side.
You could add a "Gradient Map". Try also adding a gradient "FX" to the working layer. There are tons of tuts about using gradients.
Good Luck! :)

You can also set your gradient to Foreground to Transparent. (2nd from left)
That should eliminate the gradients from canceling each other out.

Good luck.
