Question

Photoshop Export As

What happened to the JPG export percentage in the Export As dialog box? The option has disappeared. That is essential to tweaking the look of JPGs for the web. I updated to Photoshop 22.5. Did Adobe remove this for some reason?

    Have you checked if changing your preferences fixes this..?

    Navigate to Preferences > Export and enable Use Legacy "Export As". Quit and relaunch Photoshop.

    OMG thank you! Why did they change that? That looks like the only thing that checkbox changes. Were there other changes to the Export As box? It seems incredibly odd to just change the JPG export and what was the point of removing the slider, which has finer control? I am so confused by this change.

    It may be worth jumping on here and posting about it as there seems to be a few people doing the same!

    Thanks. Unfortunately, that site requires me to make yet another account, which I don't want to do. Adobe typically does not listen to customers when making changes to their software anyway, so it really isn't worth it. It's just one of the reasons that I switched to Affinity apps for my personal work. I only use Adobe for business work because I have to.

    They clearly do not beta test their software with designers at the company and let their actual subscribed customers do it for them. No web designers would request that change. The JPG categories do not even make sense. Why would "Great" be better quality than "Excellent"? Additionally, tweaking JPG percentage one point at a time is needed for creating web banners. Most web marketing platorms have size requirements, and finding just the right balance between size and quality is essential.

    I would hope Adobe would listen, but unfortunately they've already placed the old way under "legacy", which means they've made up their mind that it won't be changing back. O well.
