Decode Quality Question

Hello,
When setting the Decode quality for Camera Raw when coloring Red footage does it affect your export if you work in Quarter Res?
In other words should you be set to full res when exporting? Or is the decode quality only for playback speed?
Not sure if I am lowering the quality of my project by working in quarter res and exporting while still in that setting.
Thanks
