Does anyone know why when I submit a photo it often becomes darker than the original? I have a galaxy S21 and this has been an issue for years.
Of course I begin with unedited photos, but I’ve also tried lightening the photo, increasing/reducing contrast, light balance, reducing the photo size, etc. (while keeping it natural looking) and it still happens.
It happens most often with photos that have a bright sky in the background or are taken on sunny days, as if it hits a brightness limiter or something. Idk I’m at a loss. It doesn’t do it with every photo, but it happens often enough that’s it’s speed me from submitting quite a few wayspots or photos and I’m not sure if there’s anything I can do except try to submit from a different device? Any help is appreciated.
It is just visual for the preview, probably to save storage. The photo is normal when you see it in your contributions page
