Burning in edges and corners using gradient tool in Photoshop

Hello folks. At my advanced age, I sometimes think I am really losing it. As long as I can remember, I simulated the effect of burning in the edges and corners of my dark room prints. I used the gradient tool on a separate layer, I think set to “Foreground to transparent”, usually to a low number like 5 to 10%. Today I was working on two images for my son that used an iPhone as a camera, and wanted me to make him nice 11”x14 “prints. But when I tried it today, the entire image got darker, even though I only moved the curser from the edge to about 1/4 of the way into he image. If you visit my web site there are over 1,000 images, all done in that manner. What am I apparently doing wrong?
thanks

Do you have the gradient colors on both sides of the scale/gradient set to the same color?
