Is it possible to change the exposure settings on a RAW photo not on the whole picture, but only on the selected mask?

Question

Adobe Photoshop

how to control exposure (exposure) in nx capture using a gradient mask?
Or how to do it in Photoshop, more precisely in camera raw?

Answer 1

It seems there are no layers in Camera Raw. There is definitely a combination of several frames in HDR, but it seems that it is impossible to edit the frames separately ...
You can load the same frame several times with different exposures, and only then, in Photoshop, crop the excess with a mask.

Answer 2

The gradient mask can also be nx capture, and in CmeraRAW it's called the Graduated Filter (G) button.
