P: Bring back JPEG quality percentage to Export As dialog

I'm hoping the 1-7 quality slider in the jpeg export dialog is merely a short-term stop-gap measure until the percentage slider is brought back. (?)
Clearly, the 1-7 slider is just a cosmetic change to the 7 levels of the "Poor - Great" scale.
Sure, the 1-7 scale addresses the ridiculous matter of "Great" being used for a higher quality than "Excellent."  But Adobe has to realize that linguistic foolishness was never the real PROBLEM with those settings.  Everybody could figure out which of those settings was supposed to be better, by the order they were listed in. The PROBLEM was - and continues to be - the limited number of options, and the 1-7 slider doesn't address that at all.

I gotta say: at least the old 1-12 slider gave me an excuse to play a video clip in class for my students, of the iconic Spinal Tap scene, "These go to eleven."  I told them Adobe chose the 1-12 quality scale as a nod to the Spinal Tap amps, since there was no other reasonable explanation for that scale either.

(Didn't matter if this was in fact how the 1-12 scale came about. It helped my students remember what the available jpeg export quality setting options were.  I would love to find out someday if that story was in fact true, though.)

M1 MacBook Pro Max, Monterey 12.3.1

Photoshop 23.3.1

In Preferences > File Handling, check the box Enable legacy "Save As". Thank you. 

Oh man. Adobe. What are you doing?

No more save as a JPG? And now you must Export as? And then you max quality out at 7? Who does this help? Who is making these decisions? Fire them!!!!!!!!! Please.

Make Photoshop great again.

Well I upgraded to an M1 mac and just now realizing the legacy option is not available… please bring back this functionality, the current option is not acceptable for professional users—MAJOR workflow disruption

I've only just noticed this as I updated to latest version of Photoshop (23.2.2 MacOS). The 'Export As' JPG quality control has been reduced from 0-100 to 1-7 (whole number) slider tool.
I think I'd be speaking for the digital designer industry, we really need that extra control to maximise quality just under a file size limit set by vendors and platforms.

I had to rollback to version 22.4.0 to get the control I need for my job.

Please bring 0-100 JPG quality control feature back. Thanks!

Supposedly 7 = the old 12.

Totally agree. what's up with jpg quality 7 in this export setting? I don't think that is the highest quality.

Please put the export quality slider back on a percentage scale. Thanks for considering and reading.

Although it is true that the legacy option is there, it is somehow broken.
The first few exports work fine, then every time you enter and exit the legacy Export As dialogue (wether completing an export, or cancelling the action), the software freezes for a few seconds with spinny rainbow wheel. When working a job like mine that requires repetitive exporting of hundred if not thousands of images (and because of company-wide workflow, Export As is the only option we can use), this becomes HIGHLY disruptive of the work of an entire team.

As an OG PS user (30 years, anyone else?), I’ve always tended to use older methods -- and even on my brand spankin’ new M1 I didn’t notice this until recently because I’ve been using Command-Shift-Option-S “Save for Web,” which has always had both named levels (Low/Medium/High/Very High/Maximum) AND a percentage slider. The Labels simply jump the slider to a preset (10/30/60/80/100), but the user can also enter their own percentage. And it persists from one save to the next.

But like some others, I did originally come here to complain that everyone who approved “Great” as better quality than “Excellent” had their head firmly inserted in... a hole of some kind.  😛
