I'm having the following issue, when i have a gradient map applied to a layer below either clipped or not as the subject mentions i get the follwing issue thats in the attached screenshot. There will be a portion in the center of the image that looks like the gradient is transparent, but as you can see on the left it doesnt have that transparency. Has anyone run into this issue. I'm using 2024 but also downloaded 2023 and the same issue happens.

If you have run into this issue is there a solution? thanks in advance.

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

It sounds like the old cache issue (edit: which can become noticable on particularly noisy images) which one used to be able to avoid by using Cache Level 1 – alas the Photoshop team has not fixed that bug for years now.

I can not reproduce on Windows using Photoshop 25.0.0. Perhaps that is Mac specific.

Have you tried with preference reset what can be solution for many weird things in Photoshop?

I have actually checked on this issue more and when i have zoomed in to 100% that center area shows up also. This is a screenshot at 66.7% where the center gradient map issue is visiable. not sure if this will help with figuring out what would be causing this issue. Again thanks in advance
