Kristen here – Karen mentions using Photoshop Actions. If you have Photoshop, purchasing a set of actions makes photo editing a much simpler process. Usually with the touch of a button, a Photoshop Action takes all of the step by step work out of the editing process for you.
Photo Title & Recipe Link: Bratwurst Sandwich with Roasted Red Pepper Aioli
Blog Name: The Eclectic Cook
Equipment Used: Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i, Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 lens
Technical Details: ISO 400, F/2.2, 1/30 sec
Photo Editing: Photoshop CS2. I used levels for a quick color cast correstion since I shot this under a kitchen light with the camera light balance set to “tungsten”. It’s always nice to have a bit of white in the picture to help with color correction when shooting under poor conditions. Used Pioneer Woman Action (set 1) “boost” which I use for many of my photos.
Setup Details: White plate on wood table with a white display board in background to help with color correction in post processing.
Props: Plain white plate, display board
Additional Tips: I use simple plates, like the white one here, for colorful foods, and more interesting and textured plates and accessories when the food is more monochromatic.
I have a collection pf plates and napkins that I have picked up at various thrift stores. You get wonderful pieces for almost no money, because who (besides a food blogger) wants to buy that single plate or napkin?

I think single plates or napkins are a major trend in the design world. I would like to matchy match my china or plates or even silverware..
I like this tip! thanks for sharing!
