P: Inconsistent JPEG quality with 1-7 slider in Export As

Exactly. That is the bug. You now have to use Legacy Save As instead, to get the same results as before.

Incorrect . This was not the case a month ago.. I could 'Quick Export from a CR3 sized at 3000px file with a value of 12 that would give me an approx jpg of 3000kb. I do not want a file 3000px with a file size of 150kb

Hi, thanks for taking the time to reply.  As  i said i have 2 Macs, 1 at home , 1 at studio. Ill need to check that both are running precisely the same update as the problem only appears to be on my home machine. Will report back.Im aware of the work arounds, Use.. 'Save as' or 'Export save as' but neither are the same in terms of work flow.

Cheers

私は1-7しか選べない書き出し設定画面になっていますが、なぜか「1」だと画質がいいです。

完全にバグだと思います。

peterm25153756,

Yes, this is an obvious error that Adobe has made a couple point releases ago. In a separate thread, I tried to explain how this was broken from how it was previously, and demonstrated it until I was blue in the face. Everyone kept telling me I was wrong, or that the problem was intentional and by design.

Until Adobe acknowledges the problem, and fixes it, you need a workaround: Select Legacy Export As in the Export settings, and then always use Export As instead of Quick Export.

Just different number of steps in the scale. 7 equals 12.

With jpeg compression, maximum on the scale is not the same as maximum quality! The jpeg algorithm is always destructive and non-reversible, even at the max setting. That's the price for the small file size.

Hi, I wonder if anyone else has had this issue.

When i use quick export as a jpeg, the file is being reduced in size, not dimensions as the highest saving value is 7. I am getting a file of about 150kb when ordinarily i would get a 3mb file.

I have 2 Imacs running identical set ups , on my other Mac i can adjust the save value to 12 in preferences which gives me the larger file size  but the other has removed this option and 7 is the max

Grateful for any advice.

Good grief. For how many more years will Export As be bugged and mostly useless? It's already been more than 6 years and i can't think of any time within that span when it hasn't been.

It felt like a huge step back in time when a saw the new PS release and the way I know must compress jpg files, with a number from 1 to 6. I remember this was the way it used to be for hundred years ago.

Now PS users completely have lost the control over fine tuning the file size for web output. This was really bad news because compression is something I do almost every day - and the ability to fine tune file size/quality are so extremely important. What are PS thinking??

Please - vote back something that worked fine!

Right.

And the Export preview is still not correctly color managed.

On the other hand, the "embed profile" checkbox now sticks, which is excellent.

One step forward, one step backward. one step sideways and left foot out. We'll get there eventually 😉
