The objective: appetizing but truthful

Menu visuals should increase clicks without creating misleading expectations.

Standard workflow

1. Normalize lighting

Use neutral white balance and avoid strong color tints.

2. Correct framing

Keep plate centered and ensure ingredient visibility.

3. Improve texture carefully

Enhance detail in sauces, crust, and garnish while keeping portions realistic.

Prompt example

Polish this food photo for delivery app menu use.
Keep the dish shape, portion size, ingredient colors, and plating unchanged.
Improve lighting clarity and contrast softly.
Avoid artificial glow, fake steam, and exaggerated textures.
No text overlays, no watermark.

Channel presets

• Delivery card: bright and simple background
• Social story: tighter crop and stronger focal contrast
• Website hero: wider composition with safe text area

Common issues

• Oversaturated reds and yellows
• Unrealistic garnish details
• Inconsistent style across menu categories

Fix with a shared prompt baseline and style-specific refinements per category.

Safety and compliance

Avoid deceptive edits that materially misrepresent products.
Follow your marketplace or delivery platform creative policies.
