Common Issues

Food photo looks cold and unappetizing

Why: Phone cameras capture food under harsh or cool lighting that kills the warmth

Try: make the food look warm and appetizing, enhance the colors and steam

Adding 'warm' and 'appetizing' triggers AI to use food photography techniques

Harsh flash creates shiny glare on dishes

Why: Direct flash reflects off sauces, glazes, and wet surfaces

Try: reduce the flash glare on the food, make the lighting soft and natural

Soft overhead lighting is the gold standard for food β€” AI knows this pattern well

Messy table or background visible in shot

Why: Real restaurant tables have napkins, clutter, and other diners

Try: clean up the table around the dish, remove clutter and distractions

Focus on the immediate area around the plate rather than the entire background

Colors look off β€” food appears grey or blue

Why: Mixed lighting (daylight + indoor) confuses white balance

Try: correct the color balance to make the food colors look true and appetizing

Mention specific colors if known (e.g., 'the tomato should be bright red')
