Photo changes appearance in Edit mode

This is an ongoing glitch, which I am surprised still has not been fixed by Apple.

Opening an already edited photo, and clicking on Edit, changes the appearance of the photo.

You can see clearly how the photo becomes much lighter when I go into Edit mode - without me having made any edits at all.

So either it is changing it, or the photo 'preview' is not accurate. This is very confusing and frustrating.

Any idea what is going on here??

iPhone X, iOS 16

Photos app enhances images while exports are dull I took a photo at night of a light-up pool float. When viewed in the Photos app on my Macbook Pro or iPhone, the image looks crisp and vibrant. When I export or drag it to a folder and then view it with Preview, the image looks dull or washed out. I've even tried viewing it from an image editor and it still looks dull. However, if I reimport the dull exported photo into the Photos app, it looks as good as the original vibrant image. The Photos app is performing some sort of viewing enhancement which is being lost on export. Maybe this is normal and the Photos app uses an exclusive color profile for displaying images, but you would think photos viewed in different apps on the same device would look the same, no?

Profile photo does not keep editing In profile, editing photo with “move and scale” does not get saved. The photo gets reset back to original scale in 3 seconds after clicking “done”

Blurry Photos When Auto-enhancing a good photo it instantly becomes blurry. Very annoying! Have to undo Auto - enhance button and manually adjust any editing to get desired results. Previous versions of Photos never did this. Can Apple please fix.
