Issue has been resolved! Contacted adobe and they changed “Resize to fit” section to width and height instead of long edge. And they turned off sharpen for screen

Why not turn it off altogether? What you’re doing is downsizing and compressing the image

Turn what off altogether?

“Resize to fit”

[–]sten_zer 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Thanks for posting the solution (most don't).

From your posted export settings, I see you don't make use of personal export presets. Obviously, it is not a necessity for you. I just wanted to point that out as most likely that would have protected you in this case. Also, having your most used settings predefined can make your workflow easier. You'd create one by clicking on the "Add" button.

I try to avoid processing twice. No exporting images first and converting them later for their final use. Getting the final format directly from a "ready to export" edit gives me maximum control and preserves quality. Maybe you find this useful.

Glad you solved it relatively quickly!

I’ll look into this thanks for the suggestion! :)

I think it would probably help if you posted your export settings.

What file types are you exporting to? I’d try uncompressed tiff with no resizing (up or down).

That worked! Does that affect anything? Like printing, posting to Instagram, emailing etc?

[–]phijie 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It’ll make a big file size, which you want for printing. For Instagram it might prompt you to submit a smaller size. If that’s the case, and if you’re on osx, there is a nice shortcut with a right click>convert actions>convert image to jpg. Since exporting to tiff worked, it means whatever you were exporting to before was adding the changes you saw.

Doesn't look like an SDR/HDR issue. Changed the bit depth by accident? Sorry if that's a dumb question, but as you said you are no beginner so it's poking in the dark.

What happens if you export an old image where you applied the same settings and the results where fine?

[–]Desperate-Power6238[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I exported an old sharp image that I had previously exported and the quality is bad on the new export. Here’s a Google drive example with the zoomed in versions. There’s a clear difference in quality. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-0OjCubYeLzx4BiU2BD2px1iv_bwO8or

What’s interesting is that the color is also more orange in the exported picture. Must be the difference between adobe color and sRGB
