Question

Gradient Fill Layer isn't retained when saving out as JPG - 2019 PS

Having this issue since the recent 2019 update. I create a gradient fill layer say from blue to red. Save the file out as a JPG. The JPG doesn't have the gradient, it fills fully in blue. Looks like it just uses a flat fill of the first colour in the gradient layer. Oddly the files thumbnail is looks correct. I realise there is a workaround by simply 'copymerged' into a new doc and saving that.

Possibly it's something new I haven't realised but it feels like a bug. Just wondered if the same thing is happening to others.

Mac version btw.

Thanks!

Make sure you viewing the image at 100% view (actual pixels) before saving. Other percent views can be misleading, since photoshop uses interpolation for those and 100% view (actual pixels) is the only way to see what the image really looks like.

Double click on the Zoom Tool in the Tools panel to go to 100% or go to View>100% or Cmd+1 (mac)

Ctrl+ 1 (windows)

I came across the same issue on both my macbook and windows 10 pc. I uploaded a video with a non-destructive workaround using the blending options: Gradient Fill Bug in Photoshop CC 2019 and how to work around it - YouTube and contacted tech support to report the bug. Saving as a png does also still work.

Yes, maybe you can use a normal layer gradient until we can give you a solution

I am going to report this issue

Don't really use these forums much, is there a way to manually upload to here rather than link?

Not sure it's needed though, just make any gradient fill layer and 'save a copy' a standard CMYK jpg (baseline standard) and see if you get the same result.

sorry!
