P: Generator JPEGs very poor quality

Photoshop CC 2015 - I'm using Generate to export .jpgs and have noticed the quality settings result is hugely different outputs from the Save for Web dialogue generated files.

Here's an example where the Save for Web (legacy) dialogue exports a decent looking 12KB jpg at 11%.



Even at 1% .jpg quality, the 10KB output isn't too bad.



The same area exported via Generate at 11% (generate-11-percent.jpg11%) is 6KB and revolting.



Why aren't the results comparable?

Any help greatly appreciated.

> Is there a way to force Generate to produce sRGB images?

For some unknown reason, Adobe decide not to include color management when they wrote the code for both Generate and Export As. We've been asking for it since it was released and there has yet to be any visible movement in that direction.

Is this issue linked to sRGB?
I notice 24bit PNG files made with Generate are not sRGB. This renders them useless to me, and presumably everyone exporting assets for online use.

Is there a way to force Generate to produce sRGB images?

could you please email us the file you're exporting? original file you're exporting from. We're working on improving image quality on export and want to make sure we're fixing all cases. My email is imaderyc@adobe.com
