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.

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.

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

This issue is still unresolved. My team has the same problems every day. The workaround is not acceptable in a product enviornment. Is the Adobe Team still not working on this? Reporded month ago... no fix available?

 

Kind regards

I'm experiencing the same thing. (Photoshop 25.5.1 - Mac Sonoma 14.1)

 

I've used the 'copy layers'/'flatten image' work around for a little while when encountering this issue - however this last time have had significant colour changes when doing this. (?)

I found that rasterizing all layers (after duplicating them) preserved the gradients and meant that I didn't have to 'flatten the image', meaning it exported as expected.

(Hope this might help Adobe trouble shoot what ever is happening here.)

Thanks

Same here. Version 25.0.4. The Export as will remove any gradients if you change the image size
