Converts new (v3) gradients to legacy (v1) gradients making it accessible in older versions of Adobe Photoshop1 (pre 22.0). Works directly with psd files.
Simply drag and drop the psd file on the "Files to convert" field and the app will convert and store the result in a separate file with the -fixed_gradients suffix.
All gradient layers have to have a "Classic" mode set. If you want to convert gradients regardless of the mode, please check the "Force convert Linear and Perceptual gradient methods to legacy (changes appearance!)." option.
Currently only gradient map adjustment layers are supported.
