When I make PSD file in Photoshop 23 with gradient map adjustment layer and then place into Indesign, adjustment layer is ignored.

 

When I open same PSD file in Photoshop 22, gradient map adjustment layer is broken (discarded as uknown data).

Steps to reproduce:


1. Open Photoshop 23.0.0
2. Create a new file
3. Add a Gradient Map Adjustment layer
4. Save the file as .psd
5. Open a prior version of Photoshop e.g. 22.5.1
6. Try to open the saved file

 

The prior version of Photoshop will give you an error that it cannot open the file (see attached screenshot).

Hello. it seems the problem is also incompatibility with older versions of photoshop.

If a version 23 .PSD that has a gradient map adjustment layer, is opened in let's say version 20 of photoshop, the adjustment layer is ignored and replaced by a blank layer.
