Equivalent alternative to samsung's camera app with "food" mode

sophia_st

I know it will probably sound a bit weird, but on older galaxy phone I had a stock camera that I was able to capture better pictures with "food" mode than even with gcam on pixel 8 pro. I'm kinda disappointed, but I know it's a matter of preference.
My questions is: can you guys please recommend something alike, like a camera app with similar "food" mode/filter to take better shots of food?
This is very important to me and afaik I can't download samsung's camera app to GOS.

What makes Samsung's "food" mode so different from your point of view?

Did you check all the "Pro" settings of the Gcam app, especially the DCI-P3 color space?

On GOS pixel 8 pro the photos are less realistic in terms of being more greyish, while on samsung's camera they also less realistic but in a kinda better way, I would say warmer colors, but I'm not sure as I'm not really into photography. I just use phone's camera to capture things including food daily and the difference is huge... Maybe there's some setting I can tweak or install some other camera app you(community) can recommend

I did enabled the p3, but I didn't notice any difference compare to the greyish color compare to what sumsung can deliver.
And I know the pixel 8 pro camera is one of the best, I'm sure it's something software related, I just don't know how to solve this.

You mean colour saturation?

I am not sure what exactly samsung is doing with it's food mode, but I'm not sure how to do anything alike with pixel 8 pro that is anything close to it. When I played with colors/saturation on pixel it was awful, as the food looked burnt out or something.
I've googled it a lot and there is probably an answer to this question, but I haven't found it yet. The only thing I know now that it's not only me, it's a known thing. Food photos taken with the Pixel tend to come out looking kind of grayish or pale.

Isn't here anyone who had this kind of issue?
Please help!

Try settings → display → colors → saturated. If that dors not work, try setting the saturation to adaptive instead. This makes the phone render all colors as more vivid.

This is regarding the display itself, while I'm talking about the photos.

I'm not sure if to open another topic regarding the issue honestly, because this is obviously not just me, look:

And there's many people complain that their golden retriever come as grayish or even look at this:

The sad part is no matter how I try to tweak I can't make it stand out as on my samsung and I'm not really saying samsung's camera better, again, I'm pretty sure it's software related, but I don't know what to do with this.
