Question

Gradient Editor won't let you duplicate stops properly

When you hold down Option and drag an existing gradient stop, Photoshop should duplicate the stop and drop it wherever you release the mouse button. Instead, it duplicates the stop and drops it at location 0%. This is Photoshop 25.1.0 on macOS 13.5.2.

    Sounds like an issue with the Mac version then.

        @Kris Hunt it's working as it should for me with Photoshop version 25.1 on Windows 10, try manually resetting your Photoshop preferences

        Remember to backup your settings before doing the preference reset
