I thought so too, bonestructure, but the problem is that in photoshop it looks perfect!!! I render it in bryce - it has the gradient. I import it into Photoshop - It looks perfect (Technically speaking, not artisticly). I export it from photshop in every format Highest quality, and it comes out with a gradient. But if you can't see it, maybe its the settings on my computer. I also see the gradient problem on my work computer.
