Want quality slider with percentage back in photoshop when exporting!

Export now uses a newer jpeg encoding module which only has 7 steps. "Legacy Export As" is available in Windows and older Macs, but not supported on Apple Silicon.

This needs to be said for anyone else reading this. The file size : image quality ratio for jpeg is a highly moving target, and the final file size depends more than anything on image content. A given size limit will require highly variable compression levels to reach that size. In other words - to get 500 kB, one image may need quality level 2, while another, exactly same pixel size, arrive at that size with quality level 7.

These two are the same size and compression level - the first is 52 kB, the second is 438 kB:

The point is - maybe a fixed size limit isn't the most efficient way to approach this. Maybe it's better to allow some to go under and some to go over, averaging out. And then the number of steps isn't critical anymore, they will correspond more to differences you can actually see.

@Nina5E87 you can get it back by enabling this option in preferences

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
