MintGradeGood food photos should preserve appetizing color and texture. Heavy contrast can make sauces look dirty, while too much saturation makes herbs fluorescent.
A practical way to approach it
Start with the plate
Correct an orange indoor-light cast using white plates or neutral napkins as a reference, if they are genuinely neutral.
Make the food stand out
Use a modest exposure lift and carefully adjust red, orange and green HSL ranges. Keep highlights soft on glossy food and glass.
Respect texture
Add a little clarity only when it improves crisp edges; inspect rice, icing and bread for halos before exporting.
One limitation to remember
An overly warm filter can make white food yellow and fresh greens look artificial.
