My photos are darker after using Markup tool in Photos app on iPhone

With the latest software update, whenever I try to use Markup to tweak photos, immediately the photo becomes darker. Even if I am making only a subtle, minor change to the photo. So the result is a darker photo overall.

Also, Markup now frequently crashes on opening.

This never used to happen before.

What is the problem??
