Samsung’s camera apps come packed with several useful features designed to enhance your photography experience. The preset filters are a popular choice, allowing users to instantly modify photos with adjustments to elements like saturation and contrast. But what if the available filters aren’t quite the fit for your specific needs? Samsung has you covered by offering the ability to create a custom camera filter based on an image from your phone's camera roll.
This feature allows you to mimic the colour tone and style of your chosen image, resulting in a personalised filter tailored to your preferences.

However, there’s an easy workaround - simply choose a pre-existing filter and modify its settings. Tap the value you want to change, such as contrast, in the bar beneath the filter’s name, and adjust the slider to your desired setting. This will apply the changes directly to your filter, so you won’t need to make adjustments each time you use it.
If you ever want to reset the filter, just tap the reset button next to its name.
