1: VSCO

This free app, which also comes with an advanced paid plan, has a great selection of features for editing. From presets to basic editing tools it is great for touching up your food photos. The VSCO journal is also handy area to give users tip and tricks on how to use the app for the best results.
2: Facetune
Facetune
This editing tool is commonly known as an app for editing selfies, however, there are a few features in it which are helpful when it comes to food photography. We’d advise using Facetune’s whitening tool to whiten any plates or white objects that could have been discoloured due to the lighting. The free editing app is also good to add details to any part of the image that could have been lost.
3: Snapseed
Snapseed
Another great tool for editing, one our personal go-to apps because it’s free and very powerful. You can select certain areas of a photo and apply edits, great for an odd ingredient on the plate you want to pop. Snapseed’s “healing” tool is also great to get wipe any splashes of food or marks that you don’t want on your images. The “selective” feature allows you to brighten, sharpen and saturate chosen areas and the sharpening tool will make it seem like your phone got glasses. This app lets you play with deep details in an image and is the first one we go to when editing our food shots.
4: Lightroom
Lightroom
Lightroom will let you recreate the scene as you saw it. The colour feature, which is used to edit the hue, saturation or luminance, is one of the easiest to use and really helps bring your photos to life. Lightroom can be used seamlessly on mobile and PC devices with the advanced package.
