3.  As you can see from the first photos, the
picture is looking a little bland and lifeless. I
boosted the colour, enhanced it, and adjusted
the exposure and contrast. I then straightened
the photo a little as it was a little to the side. I
also gave it a yellow tint as my client says that
he really wants the food to look “bright and
glowing”

5.  I cropped the photo to get rid of the spoon in
the background, I also gave it a boost because
the image of the vegetables at first didn’t look
appetizing at all. I then adjusted the exposure,
in this case I didn’t need to adjust the contrast
as the photo was already really bright. I then
enhanced the colours by pressing the enhance
button at the bottom of the page.

7.  From the first photo, the crispy dumplings
don’t look crispy, therefore I had to boost the
image using the enhanced button. I tried to
make the product look really appetizing and
appealing to the customer. I had to edit this a
lot as you can see, including adding a tint and
adjusting the exposure.

9.  I had to crop my photo as I didn’t want the
silver plate to be shown. I also had to
straighten the photo as you can see, the original
photo was tipped at an angle. I didn’t do too
much editing on this one, as I didn’t want the
chicken to look any browner than it should do.
I just enhanced the image, giving my more
vibrant and appealing colours.

11.  I cropped the photo and I zoomed into the
food. I didn’t do much editing on this one
either, I only enhanced the colours. I think that
the enhance button is so useful as it
automatically enhances the colours making the
image look better quality and appetizing. Most
of the food from this restaurant is fried,
therefore I mostly had to give the photos a
brown/yellow tinting.

13.  Again, I didn’t want the spoon in the photo, so
I had to crop the photo to just show the
noodles. The noodles were already yellow
therefore I didn’t have to edit or give it a tint. I
only brightened up the photo using a technique
I found on a youtube tutorial by increasing the
amount of shadowing in the photo.
