There are so many features embedded in the pro-mode on the Galaxy S8 camera. I just started up a nano-reef and all the pictures I take look overly blue. In person, it IS a bit blue but all the pictures show up as blue or purple. What settings do I need to adjust for this?

In Pro Mode, use the highest color temp available (10,000k on the S7 so I image it has at least this range on the S8).

This was captured with no post processing on an S7 in Pro Mode.

The S8 goes to 10K as well. The photo software in Windows 10 let me do this to the picture. It is a better representation of how it looks in person, but you lose a bit of color.

This is the same camera both on Auto on the same day. One is the reef lighting (14K) and the other is a Current IC with RGB Leds.

I just recently started using the following for most of my pics. Amazingly true to life:

ISO: 250
Shutter: 1/50 (adjust this and ISO as needed for brightness)
Tone: Tone 2 (see below)
Focus: Auto or Manual depending on what I want
WB: 10000K

Tone 2 settings:
Color Temp: pegged to the right
Tint: about 1/3 to left of center
Contrast: a little less than half way to right of center
Saturation: just left of center (maybe 1/16-1/8")
Highlight: just left of center (maybe 1/16-1/8")
Shadows: just right of center (maybe 1/16-1/8")

Ok, so I am getting there. I am getting the blue to stop washing out, but it seems like it is washing out the color a bit.
