Gradient map / adjustment layers on all files suddenly don't work...?

I now need to re-create them all, using approximations...

[Anon157F]

Yes, this is a huge issue for me as well. Cannot work on important files.

What I believe the issue is, is that Gradient Maps information isn't saved with the Document. Even if you re-install the gradient maps, Photoshop won't know to reference the gradient map.

Yes same thing happened to me Gradient Map layer is there but it's just a normal layer now with the mask that was attached to the gradient map. The only option was to open flattened or layered.

I just installed the previous version of Photoshop Beta and that fixed the problem

[BilliBob15]

Yes, Photoshop (Beta) version 24.6 is the culprit. So don't create gradient adjustment layers in that version as they won't migrate to other versions...!
