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.

This sounds like an issue that the Photoshop team will need to address. But, in the meantime, did you try flattening your file and then exporting? Save your file with all of your layers intact, then do a "Save As" and save it with a different file name. Then flatten the image and save out to your desired format. Do yuo still have the same issue?

Thanks for getting back to me! I've attached an image of the full window

There's a work around that i found. instead of duplicating the layers and files, you can group your gradients and convert them as smart object and this seems to work for me.

Hi!

That is strange! Can you show us a screenshot of your window with your panels visible and the Gradent tool selected so we can see the settings in your Options bar. We need to see what you are working with. Also, what version of Photoshop are you working with? What format are you exporting to?
