How to edit food photos so they look appetizing

Dishes look tasty in a photo when they have warm, rich colors, visible texture and no blue or green cast from lamps. “Warm Appetizing Food” adds warmth and saturation to reds and oranges — pastries, meat, soups, pizza. “Fresh & Bright Food” brightens the shot and emphasizes fresh greens — for salads, breakfasts, bowls and desserts.

“Moody Food” is a dark restaurant style: deep shadows, a dark background and focus on the dish. It works well for evening menus, bars and photos on dark boards or plates. For a venue's whole menu, stick to one preset — your delivery page or Instagram profile will look consistent.
