Impressions?
Edit: Just watched a YouTube tutorial, this looks powerful.

A couple of quick tries with it... Pretty easy to use.
Gradient on...
Gradient off...
One more. This has two gradient masks. One for the clouds, one below the shade line, to darken clouds and lighten the shadow area.

I wasn't aware of the horizon tool with grad filter. I'll have to give it a whirl when I download the latest update.
Your examples, especially the last one, look great.

with 2000w inverter and external 120v output and 12v solar input with 100w portable solar. http://lighthawkphoto.com

Andy, it's a real easy tool to use. The two with gradient examples here are my only tries with it. I'm impressed with what it does
I watched the video. It looks like he's using a erasing brush (shift+t) to reverse the grad tool.
Is that what you're doing?
I thought LR was auto-sensing the horizon. If it's manual control of adding a grad and pulling selective items back with the brush, that would be useful.
I'm paying the monthly to CC, but haven't upgraded from LR5 yet.

I also have the Nik Software line of plugins, and if you find the LR grad filter useful, you should look into how Nik Software does it.
It is a selective grad that is totally adjustable and you can actually select the color you want the grad to effect. So, for instance, if you want to apply a grad filter to the sky in an image, but don't want to affect the mountains or trees, there is a selector tool that will only apply the grad filter to the color palate and area selected or vise versa. VERY useful for applying a graduated filter selectively.
