I love these kinds of edits and I can’t for the life of me figure it out. I work in capture one and photoshop mostly. I’ve searched YouTube for good tutorials on commercial or editorial style food editing and can’t find anything remotely close. Help 🙏

    You mean the placement and colour schemes? That’s just planning my friend! Take your time and tell a story, look through food magazines and note what they’re doing, what’s the main thing you want to show off, how do you draw your viewers eyes to that.

    Like others have said - lighting here is doing the heavy lifting, hard key, and potentially a little bounce fill in shadows - however the post work you’re after is pretty easy to achieve in C1 and it’s all over the place in food and bev work right now - boost your shadows, drop your highlights a little and crank up the clarity slider (maybe select something other than “natural” for a crispier 1970s Betty Crocker jello mold cookbook look.

      Or there’s a high pass filter done on the merged photo and set at multiply and between 60-80% opacity

      I do a much lower opacity sometimes if a label isn’t looking crispy enough due to printing
