Press the Edit button to open the Gradient Editor. Press the New button to create a new gradient
The default colors for the gradient are black on the left and white on the right. The color on the left color stop is the one we need so just leave it unchanged. Change the blending from spline to linear. Click on the color stop on the right (with red circle). The triangle top will become black. Change the color from #000000 to #282828 and leave the blending as spline. This one does not need to be changed. Your dialogs should be the same as below.
Click OK twice to return to the Lookup filter. You can change the darkness of the two stops to fine tune the effects.
