Multiple Gradients on One Mask in Photoshop 24.5

Yep. Hal baked implementation. But they will probably fix it. 🙂

Am I missing something?

In Photoshop 25 it IS possible to add multiple gradients to one mask. However, you can only adjust the last gradient you've initiated. In essence, it "bakes" the previous gradients onto the mask. So if you wanted to "stack" a bunch of gradients on the same mask only the last one is editable; just like "Classic" mode. 

This is feels very unpolished as a feature.

"when you use x or d shortcuts or click the color flip button to flip black and white it no longer flips the gradient from black to transparent to white to transparent."

That indeed seems an issue in the 23.6 beta too.

Often it does work, often it doesn't. I can't figure out a reason.

Found the option to get back the classic gradient tool, thank you. Additionally it seems to be a decent workaround to my problem for now to use the new gradient tool for my first, then flipping to classic to refine the mask further using additional gradients. Hopefully Adobe fixes this issue in the next update.

There are two options for Classic. I'm sure it's still possible. [just tried in the beta and it works]

I wouldn't say it's a new tool — more like a HUD update for the Gradient layer that can be handy.

I'm using Classic mode selected in the toolbar, it is not the classic gradient tool but instead the new one.

You cannot use color gradients on a mask, it has to be black or white or gray. That brings up another issue, when you use x or d shortcuts or click the color flip button to flip black and white it no longer flips the gradient from black to transparent to white to transparent. I hate being an inadvertent Adobe beta tester when using a new "Stable" release.. *smh*

Use the classic mode if you must (see toolbar).

It also depends on picking the correct gradient (some color to transparent, not white).
