Lightroom Classic Export to JPEG Help

Why? Why is Adobe making ANY change to my export settings? Right click, pick a folder - choose a folder, pick a format - choose JPEG. I generally go 80% quality. Used to be simple. 

Now... it's changed. I get it? Adobe wants folk to use DNG files (it's Adboe's afterall). But I want to use JPEG. WHY!!! is the option not available? Here are my screen shots when I try to export jpegs. There is no option top change to JPEG.

 

I've had options to change to JPEG before any updates. The below is greyed out.

Put the checkmark only when you want to export using multiple presets in one go.

When you put a check mark next to a preset, some options are grayed out.

The Learn More link will take you to this page:

Remove the checkmark, and all options become available.

I don't know why you think that Adobe wants you to use DNG – you can use any format you want from the Image format dropdown list.

I suggest that you create your own export presets, then you don't have to change the settings every time.
