Gradients not exporting with image

Something really strange is going on. My gradients look fine when I'm editing, but when I export, it's only showing the leftmost color. I've attached images.

 

 

 

    Correct answer c.pfaffenbichler

    Here's a better screenshot. I cannot provide the file due to copyright issues.

     

     


    If I remeber correctly this is a known issue with »Export As«. 

    In the meantime please use the work-around of applying a Layer Mask (of the Artboard’s dimensions) to the Gradient Layer or convert it to a Smart Object.

    In my case, I double-click on the gradient and mark “Align with layer”. Sometimes it moves the position of the gradient, but it respects the colour and transparency when exporting 100%

    Double-click to the gradient

    The soloution is to go to File > Export > Export prefrences >  click -use legagy "Export as" then save  OR  Ctrl K > Export > Export prefrences >  click -use legagy "Export as" then save. simple as that

    While I can't speak for the author of this reply, I can speak for myself, who is experiencing this issue. The left is the artboard and the right is the "Export As".

    My workaround is to rasterize the gradient layer, and it exports properly.

    Converting it to a smart object might be more prudent in case of later editing needs.

    I am having the same issue, we are paying customers not getting the service that was promised to us.

      Seems like a common issue, the least destructive way I've been able to work around it is by selecting all layers and convert to a smart object, then export. Hopefully Adobe will resolve this soon.

        Can confirm, I'm having this issue. I've noticed, even if I use the 2023 version of Photoshop, the issue persists.
