Photos taken with filter turn black after changing filter again (camera)

Game Version:  1.121.342

Issue: When taking photos with a camera and adding a filter for them turn photos black if you then try to change the filter again.

Repro Steps:

  1. Buy a Camera and cheat up your camera skill a bit so the photos you take aren't all poor quality.
  2. Take a photo and make sure to apply a filter when taking the photo
  3. Try to change the filter of the photo to something else (this can be done on the wall or in the inventory).
  4. The filter will not really change
  5. Save the game (Not 100% sure if this step is necessary)
  6. Go to manager world (or restart the game but do make sure to save if you restart)
  7. Go back into the lot.
  8. The photos will now have turned black.

I was able to make this happen on an existing save persistently. Photos taken with the phone didn't have the issue for me although they had a weird issue they created a phantom copy that later disappeared.

I have not tried a new save yet. 

I also don't know if filter taken this way before the patch also turn black so if someone has photos taken with a filter, please post what happens for you.

    No mods/cc | I have the latest update | PC | 3.53 gigabytes | 

    I made a new save yesterday to check out the update and I took photos.

    Some with and without filters. I came in today and they looked fine on the wall. Then I decided to try to "remove filter" or change the filter but nothing happened. 

    Once I moved it, it was black when I was dragging it, but normal when I placed it. I saved and exited to the main menu, came back and they were black.

    I decided to recover the save and the photos with the filters are fine when I drag them, it's just when I try to remove or change the filter that it turns black. The poor-quality photos were, but I can't even try to change the filter because of the quality.

    I just changed the photos without filters to have them, saved and exited, came back in and they are still fine.

    This is a new save; I still need to test it in an old save.

    saves: one from 2/3 and one from today after I tried changing the filter

    Existing save: 

    I went in and none of the photos with filters were affected, even if I tried changing the filter, granted that save wasn't played since last year, October 17th and the photos that had filters were not that recent.

    I tried other saves, but I haven't been playing recently because of the black photos bug so...
