Graduated Filters for Photoshop?

[Circlesquare]

Hi,

I've been thinking about buying more Cokin filters, but I guess there must be a site out there where you can download photo-effect filters for Photoshop.

Any suggestions??

For one, try the Gradient Tool with different levels of transparency.

Try Nik Color Efex Pro filters.

Here's an alternative to Nik:

has anyone compared these to nik? they seem pretty powerful... anyone else with suggestions? I'm considering purchasing a set myself.

Is there an easy way to do this in PS without buying filter kits? What about web lessons regarding layer options and such?
