Common Issues
Food photo looks cold and unappetizing
Why: Phone cameras capture food under harsh or cool lighting that kills the warmth
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
Soft overhead lighting is the gold standard for food — AI knows this pattern well
Messy table or background visible in shot
Why: Real restaurant tables have napkins, clutter, and other diners
Focus on the immediate area around the plate rather than the entire background
Colors look off — food appears grey or blue
Why: Mixed lighting (daylight + indoor) confuses white balance
Mention specific colors if known (e.g., 'the tomato should be bright red')
Frequently Asked Questions
Can AI really make food look appetizing?
Yes. Most food photo problems are lighting and color issues. The AI adds warmth, enhances natural food colors, and creates the visual cues that make food look fresh and delicious. It's the same color science food photographers use.
Will it make my food look fake?
Not with the right prompt. Using 'natural' keeps it realistic. The goal is making the photo match how the food looks to your eyes in person — warm, colorful, and fresh.
