Annoying post picture processing

[petrapetra]

As a creative professional, I rely on accurate colors and details in my photos — especially when using macro lenses and editing tools. Unfortunately, the Samsung Gallery app automatically applies visual post-processing that alters how my edited photos look, even after I’ve exported them. This is extremely frustrating, as the colors and clarity I’ve worked hard to achieve are not accurately displayed. I kindly request that Samsung add an option to disable automatic post-processing in the Gallery app so that users can choose whether they want optimized previews or true-to-file rendering. This would be a valuable feature for professionals and serious hobbyists who prioritize image fidelity. Thank you for considering this feedback.

If you shoot in raw there's no processing. "Expert raw" is an addon on the galaxy store that gives the camera app what you want. Pro mode also has a raw mode you can enable.

Though if you don't want to process raw images, camera app, settings, intelligent optimisation, disable optimiser and set optimisation to minimum. In the gallery app, settings, detail enhancer, off.

Though for a pro wanting no processing, Expert raw is designed specifically for that

I'm over all of these already, but thank you for recommending 😊 My concern is not this, what I already know. It would just make it so much easier, not only for me obviously, to enable it in settings and giving the option to the user to switch it on or off. Just to have an update giving you the option to have it on or off, simple as that.

*Expert raw is made for professionals

Debating the easy access to raw, not you. Don't want you to think I'm mad or arguing with you or something

I guess the only argument against it is the need for a quick swap. If you are the person to spend time editing a photo and needing it raw, you aren't the type of person to complain about a 1 minute setup to take raw photos.

If they made it a quick toggle, average people might use it then get mad their images look bad.

Pro features are hidden away as only pros should use them and know about them. If everyone could easily trigger it, they wouldn't understand they'd need to spend time editing stuff.

It can be made a quick toggle after a little setup, I think thats better than having it default easy to hit.

Yes, im aware of that. Send a feedback to Samsung and they also recommended What we'd recommend is to post my idea here as well as they say this way a moderator can pass my feedback to their Research and Development Team, who can explore the possibility of introducing it in future products or updates.

[johnz237]

Yes! Apologies if my comment implied you shouldn't share on here! It's just also recommended to do what I suggested. Its a case of both- but not without the other (feedback)

[petrapetra]

Oh, no I didn't think you're arguing, and I really appreciate your quick response and willing to help. I'm not necessarily needing the pictures to be raw for my work, but shooting in raw is my only option for now to have the pictures as close to reality as possible. The whole point for me upgrading to a samsung Galaxy s24 ultra from my old samsung s21 ultra was to gain better quality pictures. But unfortunately, I had to realise - and have seen so many people with the same realization - that the cameras in the new phones are a disappointment.

Yeah, modern phone cameras have moved to computational photography. The actual camera sensor and glass alone isn't that good/get very expensive to make better. So camera improvements are in how the phone processes the images. You could even say not a single pixel is real since the whole image is processed so much. My s25u does arguably take better photos than my nikon d7500, but that d7500 takes real images, what it sees is how things are. My phone processes everything a ton.

I kinda did a whole college project on how real photos are. From film to DSLR. From computational to ai. Deciding when an image is no longer real is really hard now.

Log video is something new with one ui 7. You can now record video with little to no processing too

Have you played around with the filters in the Camera app?

Might take some time but you can customise them to your style
