The gradient on the export looks much different than in PSD

Hello,

When trying to export this graphic, the gradient takes up much more space than intended. Looking for any help with what I am doing wrong or if this is a bug. Thanks!

Hey @Hayden31710870z0yx. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll need more specific info to help you figure this out.

What version of Photoshop & macOS are you working on? How is the document built? The screenshots suggest adding a gradient layer on top of your image & resize it to fit.

As a test, I drew the black gradient on a random image & then selected the mask of the gradient to show/hide the rest of the gradient layer. This is how my test file looks & the export screen works as expected when matched to the setting you're working on.

Please test this at your end or share the process you're working on.

For a temporary workaround, you can go to Photoshop > Settings > Export > Use legacy 'Export as' & restart Photoshop.

Check if that helps. Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

I converted the gradient to a smart object and it fixed all exports.
