Portrait photos in gallery not updated when adjusting DoF

After installing the latest update I took a few pictures in Portrait mode. At f=1.2 the background is very blury as expected. I then go and edit the photos, and changing the f-stop to something larger like say f=7.2 and the background is sharp. I clock on DONE to close the editor and go back to the Photos gallery. Low and behold the photo appears with a blurry f=1.2 background. I open adjustments again and in the editor it shows the correct settings and picture looks great. But not in the gallery. Tried with a couple of pictures, tried restarting the phone, still broken.
