Thanks for that. Worked well so far.

I was able to fade the bottom of the image. Now I also want to fade the
opposite side. When I try to use that command again it deletes my
current fade and adds a new fade.

How can I use 2 fades?

Thank you!

Group the first mask group by selecting the mask group in the layers
panel and choosing Modify > Group. Once you've done that you can apply a
second mask.
