"Export for screens" still has too many problems.

"Export for screens" is a great feature in general but it has quite a few flaws and still has a lot of room for improvement.

  • The quality of the JPG is really bad and it generates worse quality file and bigger sizes than "Save for web", for example.
  • It adds the suffix "-1" when exporting artboards, even if you have the field for "suffixes" empty.
  • You cannot adjust the quality of the JPG 
  • You cannot add custom presets.

I talked to the senior customer support agent for Adobe Illustrator surely for an hour. This is my issue:

1.) Export for Screens > Artboards: The scales are not saved when I close and re-open the same file.

2.) Export for Screens > Assets: Export adds a white frame around my exported images (which does not happen in "Artboards).

3.) There is no way to save presets in either of them.
4.) No possibility in Illustrator to export to RGB of CMYK docs. When you have a CMYK color space, Export for Screens will export in CMYK. Which makes no sense, as the menu is called "Export for Screens" and that would be RGB not CMYK.

 

I suggested to Adobe they rename the menu to "Batch Export" and just have an RGB / CMYK option. Not sure why they copied the Affinity Export Menu 1:1 instead of developing their own solution based on what users need. 

There are currently multiple entries at uservoice and I was told that if we get enough upvotes, then they will consider it all of the above. I find that a bit disturbing, as scale presets not getting saved seems more like a bug. I was wondering if any of you experience the same issues? 300 upvotes exist so far on multiple posts, but nothing has happened yet. We always get told in the forums to upvote, but its really frustrating when we actually spend time upvoting (in a system that doesnt really work) and then get ignored:
