SIGNIFICANT UPDATE

Here is another followup to the unexpected characteristics of PS Gradients.

I dug in and found the root cause and determined quite a few of the Legacy Default Gradients are subject to problems (not the regular Default Gradients). I also provided a Replacement Legacy Default Gradient Preset file that fixes the problem for all affected Legacy Gradient Presets.

I documented my findings at the Adobe Forum at:Anomalies in Legacy Default Gradients when using Gradient Method of Perceptual or Linear

Besides the Replacement Gradient File I also included links to a detailed text file that details out all of the Legacy Gradient Presets which includes which gradients have the potential problem.  I also listed the details of the regular Default Gradient Presets which shows why they don't have the problem.

I personally moved over to using the Replacement Legacy Gradient Preset file until if and when Adobe does an update to remove the problem.  I am hoping that providing the details to Adobe will help with higher motivation to correct the problem (pretty easy fix/workaround).

I won't repeat the details here so if interested just use the link.
