Question

Need to revert to old export options

In the newest version of Photoshop when I go to export a photo as a JPG instead of having a quality slider from 1-100 there's a dropdown menu with different qualitative export quality options (very poor, poor, fair, etc.) and it always defaults to "Good". I always want to export with the highest quality I can so I have to go change it to "Great" (the highest available option, but shouldn't it be named Best or something similar?) and export it from there. This should be changed back to a 1-100 quality scale and it should not revert back to 60 quality every time I re-launch the program, it should stay on what I set it to, just as it used to. Instead of having to change it from Good to Great with every export (why would it default to a lower quality option?) I should be able to set the quality to 100% once and have it stay there. Completely unnecessary and backwards update.

You can revert that option in preferences

Unfortunately, that's not true: you'll see in this screenshot, the 'use legacy export as' checkbox button isn't there anymore (this is in preferences > exporting) when you compare it to the one Ged attatched in his original answer.


What version are you using?

This is 23.3.1 on Windows 10 :
