P: Artifacts/incorrect appearance after flattening (macOS Catalina)

I have a gradient overlay (Red to blue) on a fill pattern, when I go to export it shows the fill pattern as Solid blue

Hi Andrew,

Can you post a source PSD and resulting JPEG that produces this issue? (CC Files or Dropbox)

When you save the JPEG, what method are you using? Save As, Export As, or Save for Web?

I have begun to notice an issue with files at our company surrounding layered files with masks.

These files look and appear fine when saved as a PSD file, but whenever these files are saved as JPGs for input into InDesign or simply flattened, the representation of masked layers produces errors.

Often these errors look like random squares where the mask fails to mask the layer.

Hi *WJK ,

I'm sorry to here about the issue.  Would you mind sharing your PSD file?  My team and I removed the Legacy Compositing checkbox because we thought after 2 years, we had worked all of the bugs and kinks.  I'm sorry again for the troubles.

I emailed you a temporary solution, as I do not want to publicize this to the masses.

Sincerely,

Andrew
