Default centre out grad ND filter

Does any one know who makes center out graduated ND filters? What I want is to be able to 'underexpose' the central part of a photograph and expose correctly the edges.

Thanks. They are a bit pricey I thought they'd probably would be. Essentially what I want is to get a room properly exposed without blowing the windows.

what about a blend. Take two images, one exposed for the window and one exposed for the room and blend them together. Just a thought!

Thanks. That is what I usually end up doing but sometimes the transition from the window to the room is too abrupt and I think that one really needs a graduated transition.

Im pretty sure you can blend the two images together using the grad tool. Could you not also maybe use the dodge and burn tools to help the images blend together. just a thought!
