Professional food photography, while comparatively new to the photography scene, is one of the most interesting landscapes in photography today. Restaurants, supermarkets, food retail outlets, bloggers, and even Instagram influencers today need high-quality shot and edited food photographs to entice customers, gain better word of mouth, and sell their products.
At Flatworld, we strongly believe that editing is the most powerful part of food photography.

A majority of our clients have stuck with us for a long time because unlike most of our competitors, we understand the nuances of professional food photo editing services and deliver high-quality images that look as delicious as the food itself.

Food Photo Editing - Our Key Differentiators
Having worked with multiple clients across the globe with a varying set of requirements, we have managed to set up a fine-tuned process which ensures your food photographs are edited in the best possible manner. We prefer working on RAW files as compared to JPEGs, as it allows us to create a better composition.
Once we receive the images sent by you, we take each image through the following editing steps -
HSL Adjustments
HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, and Luminance. Most good photo editing software such as Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom have this feature but needs to be applied well as our professionals do. HSL adjustments allow us to control colors individually, ensuring we can work only on particular elements of the photo without affecting the entire image.
Hue is the shade of the color. For example in the case of a leaf, it can either have a green hue, or dark green with some brown, or light green with a yellow tinge. With the hue slider, we can change the shade of the colors easily.
Saturation effects how colorful the image really is. Based on the image, we can slide the saturation meter to make the image more or less colorful as required.
Luminance in editing is a measure of how bright the color is. Luminance allows us to add the magical effect to photos, ensuring each image is respectfully graded and luminated.
Radial Filter
One of the best ways to draw viewer attention subtly is by using the radial filter. We generally use radial filters to outline the main food subject, leaving some around it and then reducing the exposure or contrast or sometimes even the saturation so as to mask off a part of the photo. The radial filter allows us to play with the overall composition of the photo and present a more appealing look.
Sharpening Mask
Similar to the radial filter, the sharpening mask tool allows us to sharpen the most in-focus parts of the food photo, rather than the entire edit. One of the most common reasons for us using it is when food photos are clicked in portrait, and sharpening the subject still keeps the milky-smooth bokeh softness intact in the background.
Tonal Adjustment
Color tones allow us to create separate dimensions within the image and are often the difference between an edited but flat image as compared to a vibrant one. Tonal adjustment helps us capture form and shape accurately while helping divert the attention of the viewer.
More often than not, tones allow us to play with emotions and evoke certain feelings such as hunger, nostalgia, etc. Unlike most of our competitors who usually have mid-tone-specific edits, our entire range of tonal adjustment comes as a breath of fresh air.
Healing
Healing is especially important if you want your image to be free of specs of dust, food irregularities (shape, overflow, etc.), lens aberrations, etc. Healing allows us to lend a more professional look to the entire image while ensuring you can capture the attention of your audience immediately.
White Balance
White balance, also known as "warmth" or "temperature" refers to how blue or yellow the overall image looks. When we edit the photographs, we ensure the white elements of the photo show up as pure white and provide an ethereal effect to your photo. We help to de-tune over-balanced images and remove the yellows, making the image look cooler or warmer as per your requirements.

Why Do You Need Food Photography Editing Offered by FWS?
Most photographers like shooting food images since they can be carefully set up and do not involve movement or other nasty surprises. A well set-up food layout is half the job done, especially if it is shot in natural light. The main problem arises when you have to shoot under artificial light inside a studio or outside during cold or winter months. Such photos always come out dull, have a lot of shadows, and usually have a very unappealing color profile.
Our professional food photo editing services can turn boring and dull food images into works of art while capturing the vibrancy and flavor within the colors we bring out. Our unique editing style follows a set process which has been developed over many years, and remove unnecessary items such as background, fingerprints, scratches, etc. while making the vegetables, fruits, and other foods look more appealing.
