What you will get

The same dish photo with warmer colour, fresh glossy highlights, cleaner plate edges, a soft side light and a gently blurred background, looking appetising for a menu without adding or removing any food.

Common mistake

Extra garnish or sauce appears that is not on your dish.

Fix: Repeat “do not add or remove any ingredient, keep every item on the plate in the same place”, and compare with the original before printing.

Also watch for

Colours look oversaturated and unreal. Say “natural look, slightly warmer, no oversaturation”, as in the prompt, and compare reds and oranges with the real dish.
The plate shape or the table changes. Add “keep the plate, table and camera angle unchanged”. Shoot near a window, as the tip says, so less needs fixing.

Try a variation: dark and moody

Ask for “a dark, moody style: deep shadows, one soft side light, a dark wood table” for a premium menu look. Keep the line about not changing the dish.

Keep the dish, plate, table and angle exactly as they are, add no ingredients, and make the colour slightly warmer with fresh highlights and no oversaturation.
