lockscreen and wallpaper are not rich and bright in dark mode

[Harish457]

I've a problem with my lock screen and wallpapers pictures. When I set a pic from my gallery as my wallpaper/lockscreen the richness of my image os getting lost. This is only happening for the images in my gallery and not when I download some random images online. Everything seems to be good when I turnoff dark mode. Did anyone else face this issue?

Ofcourse, I did. Just checking if anyone else is facing the same issue

Not sure if it's because of that, but I boosted the picture brightness in Gallery, yet when I view it as my wallpaper it looks dimmer. This is really frustrating. 

Updated: Yup, it was definitely dimmed by dark mode, even though I never asked for that.

This is pathetic.  I shouldn't need to turn dark mode off just to view pictures. Dark mode isn't supposed to affect pictures, only wep page and app backgrounds.

Don't know if this matters to you anymore, but it may to others.

I found out that you are now able to go into settings, search for "dark mode," select "apply dark mode to wallpaper" from under the "Wallpaper and style" result. Then toggle "Apply Dark Mode to wallpaper" to off (this seems to be toggled On by default).

...Now my phone finally looks the way it was supposed to to begin with! Thanks, Samsung, for making this more of a hassle than it should be (it shouldn't be on by default, and I shouldn't need to search for it).
