I wonder if the right gradient tool was chosen? There are a few different ones,....and I would guess the one that graduates from top to bottom was meant to be used. This looks like the radial tool, instead of the linear tool. I think the five choices ( those little box icons on the options bar) are linear, radial, angle, reflected , and diamond.

I guess I should have been more specific. I discovered how to use the gradient tool to create a vignette effect by pulling the tool across from all four sides of the photo
