    OK fairly substantial complaint:

    I'm seeing a massive failure in JPG export quality

    Like exporting a book project, the full-size JPGs are obviously fine and all but massive in size, pixel-wise and data-wise

    In Photo, I'm reducing to 1200x750 @ 96dpi and the export sizes at 85% quality are over 1mb. Not only that, but the export quality is pretty awful, what Photoshop used to do ~50%

    Is the compression algorithm just that bad? Like the files I'm getting from this aren't really usable online in a portfolio and it's a bit worrisome.

    • OK after un-checking "embed ICC" as a default they reduced in size somewhat, but still noticeably worse than PScolin_s
    • that's very odd. i've just tried making a 1200x849 jpg and even at 100% quality it's under a meg.hans_glib
    • even if i scale it up to 96dpi res (1600x1132) it's still only 1.1mb at 100% qualityhans_glib
    • i've noticed that the compression is much stronger than ps and whereas i'd use 60% quality in ps now i use 85 in photohans_glib

    • it was ICC profile stuff - color conversion i think that adobe does by default and I had to go in and fuck withcolin_s
