I was taking a mirror photo with my Samsung S23 Ultra and I thought it looked really great. But then, with the same lighting, I took a photo with my friend's iPhone, and it captured my skin color perfectly, or perhaps the contrast was better, whereas the Samsung photo was completely without color grading, I realized. So I went to edit and lowered the white balance and increased the contrast. Then it matched my skin color. I don't understand why it takes photos like raw, and then I have to edit them. Am I missing anything in the settings?

Hi guyy_,
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Galaxy S23 Ultra camera. We understand how important it is for photos to reflect natural skin tones and contrast, especially when comparing results across different devices. Your feedback is very valuable to us.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra is designed to capture images with high detail and dynamic range, which sometimes can appear more neutral or “raw” compared to other devices that apply stronger color grading by default. To help achieve the look you prefer, here are a few troubleshooting tips you might find useful:
Scene Optimizer: Ensure this feature is turned on in Camera settings. It automatically adjusts colors, brightness, and contrast for different scenarios.
White Balance & Tone: In Pro Mode, you can manually adjust white balance and exposure to better match your skin tone in real time.
HDR Settings: Try enabling or disabling HDR depending on the lighting, this can affect contrast and color depth.
Filters & Styles: Explore the built-in camera filters or “My Filters” option to apply consistent color grading without needing post-editing.
Lighting Adjustments: Even small changes in angle or light source can make a big difference in how skin tones are captured.
