Export As image preview looks like in 27.9.1

In Photoshop 27.9.1 the image preview in Export As looks like a chunky mess even at 100% and when the export image isn’t being scaled, as if it’s taking a smaller image texture and scaling it back up with a fast/nearest-neighbor type algorithm... it does not match the original image. This also makes it impossible to judge the Resample mode (Bicubic, Bilinear, etc) when you ARE scaling the image on export, because the preview has no relation to the actual resulting saved image.

I downgraded back to 27.8.0 and it works fine again.

Windows 11 25H2, nVidia 3080 Ti on drivers 610.88 (GRD)

Here is a screenshot showing the document at 100% in Photoshop with the Export As window open below it. Hopefully this image gets attached untouched/unscaled (original is 2603x1347)

This may or may not have something to do with being on a high-res monitor (3840x2160) in Windows with its interface scaling active (150% in my case) as I looked at PS 27.9.1 on a different machine on a standard res monitor with no scaling and the preview seems to be OK.

Hi ​@idolum 

 

Sorry for the delayed response. We tried but couldn’t replicate this behavior in version 27.10. I would request that you share a few more details, such as System Info from the Help menu (Copy-paste the full report here) and the sample file shown in the screenshots above. 

We’d be happy to help. 

Thanks, Srishti Bali | Community & Engagement Strategist, Digital Imaging | Adobe

My system info is attached.

The actual content doesn’t matter - just take any image with some relative sharp detail (generated text, a screenshot of the About window 😉or anything) displayed at 100% (1:1) zoom level, then Export As and also set the preview to 100% and note the difference.

As I mentioned before, I’m guessing this has to do with Display Scaling, as another workstation which does not use it looks fine on a system with a similar gen GPU (3070). But regardless it works/worked fine on 27.8 and prior even with display scaling.

Still broken in PS 27.10 in spite of being mentioned in the release notes.
