Hi
I love a lot of the new features in the 2023 Photoshop Beta. However it would be great if there was an option to revert the live gradient tool to the legacy version.

What i dont like is that it makes a new layer for it. It's a good feature but not usefull for me and it would be great if there was an option to use it flat on the current layer selected.

I also dont like that i cant just color pick and have the picked color paired with the gradient tool. I have to do an extra step by clicking on the gradient colors and use the eyedropper from there.

Is there a solution for this?
Thanks in advence!

In the Gradient Tool Options, change to Classic Gradient before using the tool.

To be clear, Selecting "Classic Gradient" DOES NOT revert it to the legacy 2019 version. So please stop advertising it as such.

Hi all,

If a fill has been created using the Modern Gradient tool, changing the dropdown to Classic is disabled. It can be done by deselecting all layers or selecting/creating a raster/new layer. The dropdown setting is sticky which means all following gradients will be using legacy implementation.
