Pictures becoming different.

[Garrett Gress]

I have a Galaxy S23. Every time I take pictures, I can't edit/share them until it finishes a little cycle of "loading," where it changes the picture. I don't know if this is supposed to make my images look better or what, but it usually turns a really good picture of my dog into a really blurry shot. Been a Galaxy user for about 3 years now, and have never noticed this until just about August, 2023. Is there any way of turning this off? Thanks.

Hi there, this is called image optimisation. you can turn this off via the camera assistant app in goodlock or via camera settings. This is what the camera settings look like on my s23u

Disabling the image optimisation doesn't stop the forced image processing from being applied. You can't turn this off. Ever.

I'm getting fed up with people spreading incorrect advice by suggesting this as a fix.

The ONLY way to stop Samsung's processing is to use the basic 12mp mode.

This is the reason why I'll never touch another Samsung phone ever again.

Thanks, but I had done this already and it never fixed anything

if your so fed up then dont listen, i apologise if my advice bothers you this much but quite frankly if your that annoyed then you need to grow up abit😅

[Garrett Gress]

Yeah, thats pretty stupid. Why even offer a 50mp mode if it changes everything the second after tou take the picture? If I wanted 12mp I could have just bought a Motorola 💀

@UNKNOWNUSERNAME  they don't need to grow up, Samsung needs to offer better options. If smartphones are going to be the price they are, the companies should listen and fix things. And you need to grow up. Your username is something a 9 year old would use, and it should have been "you're" not "your." "Your" is possessive

Your advice was wrong.

You were spreading misinformation and lots of others do this.

People read any old rubbish and then pass it on as fact when it's anything but. It does nobody any good.

If you don't know what you're talking about, don't offer any help or advice.

I'm so disappointed with the camera on the S23. I came from a Pixel 6 pro and the aging camera on that absolutely trounces the S23 in every way.

But even with 12mp there is optimisation, so doing the steps i mentioned helps with that. Atleast on my s23u.
