People have been asking my how I get my food photos to look good.
Here’s what I usually do. This is a slightly modified version of this tutorial on UnfocusedBrain via Lifehacker – just a simple color match
1. The first step is to make the best of your camera. Take a bunch of pictures and pick the best one later (assuming you are using a digital camera)

2. Find a suitable photo to match with online (I use Google Images and Google Image Ripper. For example, in this case, I searched for “potato salad.” I usually choose a picture with similar colors but better. Here’s the one I chose

3. Open Photoshop. (I’ve noticed older versions don’t have this function) Open both your picture and the one you downloaded. Make sure yours is selected.
4. Go to image –> adjustments–> match color–> Source (at the bottom)–> select the file name of the downloaded picture.
5. Play around with the level of Fade, Color Intensity and Luminance until you like the results. Here are my results:

Here are some more examples (this were taken with a very crappy camera in fact).

最近有滿多網友問我．是不是我有很好的照像機．因為我的食物相片滿好看的．
其實我沒有．我只有一個快８年多的數位相機．是我婆不要的．
畫像質非常低．所以所有的相片都還要再經過處理．
我想借機介紹一下我怎麼處理的．這是我在 lifehacker 看到的．

１．盡量將原本的照片照到最好．
２．到Google圖片．找一張類似的照片．如：是義大利麵．我就會搜尋義大利麵的照片．我會挑顏色最鮮艷漂亮的照片．然後下載下來．
３．將自己的相片．跟下載的相片在Photoshop打開（我有注意到．舊版得沒有這一功能）要注意．自己的相片要是被點選的那一個．
４．到Photoshop的．圖片 (image)－＞調整 (adjustments)－＞符合色彩 (match color)－＞來源（視窗下方）(source)－＞點選你下載的照片．
５．然後依喜好調整上方的功能 (Fade, Color Intensity and Luminance).（註．一般都要調滿多．不然照片顏色會很奇怪）

（＊因我沒有中文版的Photoshop.　所以部驟４．是英翻中得來的．如果找不到．試試看讀英文的講解．可能會幫你知到怎麼做）
