Support WebP in Photoshop Export As

[TheRealMrG]

The Export As dialog in Photoshop currently supports PNG, JPG, and GIF as file format options. Please add WebP to this. At present to save a file as WebP requires either direct Save or using Save As meaning there is no option to take advantage of the Export As options - for example to resize images, add metedata, etc.

@TheRealMrG – I have added my vote.

With WebP Save/Save As/Save As a Copy being supported by actions and scripts, at least one isn't totally out of options. The only other alternative is to use Export As to say PNG, then perform a batch conversion to WebP.

Some recent topics where WebP was scripted:

Much needed. The current method of exporting to webp is insufficient since it misses resize and preview for both quality and the resulting file size.
