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.

        I am also having this issue and it seems like it still hasn't been addressed by Adobe.

          @Emma22380609293l. To keep your original template intact and work non-destructively, the best way is to duplicate the file before proceeding to flatten the images.

            I'm having the exact same issue. I have gradient on my text (light orange to white), but when I export it, it's just white. Problem is that this file serves as a template, so I still have to be able to edit the text,... So I probably can't use the method of flattening the image, right?

              Thanks for the helpful tips. After flattening the layers, I achieved a good result.

                Since updating my Photoshop to the latest version, I have been experiencing the same issue.

                  I'm glad it works (as a work around!), and yes, by you posting your issue here in the forums, I am sure they are aware of it. Hopefully, they can figure out why it's happening and get it taken care of.

                    Thanks for getting back to me! For some reason, it looks like flattening the image works!

                     

                    I can use that as a workaround for now, but I'm curious if the Adobe team knows what's going on just in case others run into this issue.

                      Hey, you can also merge all the layers with alt + ctrl + shift + e hotkey. This will create a new layer from all the others in your project. This way there's no need to create another file. Works the same way.
