What is the Quick Export feature for saving assets for web and how does it differ from Save for Web (Legacy) in Photoshop?

• A. Quick Export saves the currently selected layer as a web-optimized asset.
• B. Quick Export is a legacy workflow for web assets.
• C. Save for Web (Legacy) offers fewer options.
• D. Save for Web (Legacy) can export multiple layers as separate files.

Answer: (B)

Quick Export is a fast, streamlined way to save web-ready assets from Photoshop by exporting the content of the active layer with minimal dialogs and settings. It’s designed for quick, per-layer exports, using web formats like PNG or JPEG with smart defaults, so you can get a result without digging through detailed options.

Save for Web (Legacy) is the older workflow that offered extensive, manual optimization controls for various web formats. It’s more about fine-tuning quality, color settings, metadata, and previews, which is why it’s considered the older approach compared to the newer, faster Export paths.

Among the options, the description that Quick Export saves the currently selected layer as a web-optimized asset matches how this modern feature is intended to work. The other statements either mischaracterize Quick Export as a legacy tool or imply behaviors (like exporting multiple layers automatically) that aren’t how Quick Export or Save for Web (Legacy) function by default.
