  1. Allow me to make it three! :D

    Download Illnab's Alpha Mask Import plugin.

    Open a new image the same size as your current image.

    Give the new image a black background.

    Create your text in white where you want the text to be in your original image.

    Save the image as textmask.png.

    In your original image, create a new layer and draw your gradient with the fade in proper relation to where you want the text and what part of the gradient you want visible. You could unflatten the mask image and copy / paste the text layer to the document as a reference. Use the Mask Import plugin to import the textmask.png to mask out the gradient in the shape of the text.

    The up-side to this one is that it will be anti aliased, same as the text was originally.

    I use this method a LOAD! the only problem is that I have to save the mask...
