Save for Web - now frustrating!

When you change the quality setting in Save for Web, the preview no longer automatically updates and instead you have press RETURN for the preview pane to change. This is annoying and inefficient. And if you hit RETURN an extra time by mistake, the save dialog pops up which makes the new interface even more annoying and time consuming!

Also the dropdown menu for the image size is far slower than it used to be. Previously, you could just quickly click + or -, now you have to dig through a long list of size options. Sure, you can type a percentage, but you are guessing the size… the old method was quicker and easier.

I MUCH, MUCH prefer the previous design. New is NOT better!

    Hi ​@Andrew-the-Piper, Welcome to the Photoshop Community Forum! Let's try a few basic troubleshooting steps to see if we can get your workflow back on track.

    1. Resetting Photoshop Preferences: Meanwhile, you can try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps mentioned here:  https://adobe.ly/4jmvs7u. Please back up your settings before resetting the preferences. You can check:  https://adobe.ly/3YW1WOu

    2. Go to Preferences > General and disable Modern UI. This will revert Save for Web (and some other dialogs) to the previous interface. It's not a permanent solution, but it may help while we work through these regressions.

    If none of these steps work for you, let us know, and we can continue troubleshooting. I hope this helps! ^CH
