Photos Tools Black on iPad

I just updated to iPad OS 17. When I edit an image in Photos, the tools at the bottom are all black and hard to see. This just happened with the update. How do I change the tools to another color? I am in the Markup screen.

The markup toolbar appears to adopt either a light or dark theme - as dictated by the image being edited. The dark theme toolbar does appear to be consistently difficult to see - in particular when overlaid against a black background. By example:





Unfortunately, the light/dark toolbar theme cannot be manually selected - and neither can the toolbar contrast be adjusted to improve legibility of the tools and dynamic tool labels.
