[PS 2024] Abnormal file size for Export > Artboards to files JPG

[Adrian21775298gz23]

Hi, I've come across what might be a bug, something that didn't happen on previous versions and it's happening right after updating to latest version of PS.

Issue: 

• Photoshop version: 25.0.0 20230906.r.37 b14e317 x64
• OS: Windows 10 64-bit

Steps to reproduce:

1. Export artboards from "Export > Artboards to Files..."
2. File type .JPG
3. Run

Expected result: A file size of 300kb for 1280x720 image
Actual result: Files sizes are way higher than before. In example: almost 30MB for a 1280x720 JPG.

Notes:
- It happened me with different PSDs, but not always.
- Different dimensions images sizes are similar (in example: a 30MB for a 1280x720 image, and 30MB for a 375x375 image, both from the same PSD)

Thanks! I tried the Solution #1: Adobe Photoshop Script over the source PSD and now the resulting exported JPGs have normal sizes again. Thank you!
