Howard mentions that the new options automatically strip out metadata – is that ALL metadata, as this isn’t desirable for photographers looking to keep keywords, contact details, credits and copyright information stored in their images.
I’ve been using the Save For Web (Legacy) in conjunction with a piece of cheap software call JPEGMini which optimises images for web without stripping out metadata.
I made some tests exporting JPGs for the web and the image quality with the new export tool is much worse than the legacy Save for Web mode.
