Gradient map changing before export & when merged

[Taja I]

Hello, I am having trouble!

My gradient map keeps changing before I export and looks nothing like the preview, and when I merge it It also changes to what I don't want how to I keep the Original gradient look when exporting or merging the layers?

before export (what I want)

Export preview ( what I don't want 😕 )

I notice that your file color space is CMYK. Did you check that you have check View > Proof colors and select CMYK?

If not what you see on screen is not what will print since the color gamut is not the same.

Could you please post screenshots taken at View > 100% with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible?
