Dragging the thumbnail of the photo from Photos to the Desktop will work, but you will have no control over the quality. This will export the current preview as a JPEG. If you want to ensure a certain quality, use the "File > Export > Export ... photos" dialog and click the "v" to the right of "Photo Kind: JPEG". You will have more options.
