I have a picture, where there are underexposed parts in the outer areas. To achieve, that the outer are gradually more exposed, I would like to create a new exposure layer with a two-folded mask:


A selection of the frame areas, that are affected by the exposure (simply by a rectangular selection and inversion)
A gradient selection that over-exposes the area the more, the farther it is away from the center of the picture.


Question: How can I achieve the second part of the masking?

Add the adjustment layer exposure.

Add a layer mask to that adjustment layer.

Create a rectangle selection with the marquee tool. that is halfway between the underexposed and the properly exposed image.



Go to Select -> Refine Edge. Move the feather slider until you get a selection that will be the right amount of gradation.

Now fill your layer mask with black.

Note: I find it may just be easier to paint the layer mask with a low opacity brush rather than try to guess the feather amount.
