Xiaomi Presets for Food Photography at Home and in Cafes
Tactics for fixing yellow light and making food look clean using Xiaomi presets and angles
Food photos fail when the colors scream “overhead bulb” or when shadows swallow the plate. The right Xiaomi preset can take a lackluster noodle bowl and turn it into a Pinterest-worthy snap.
Common problems
- Yellow cast from café lamps.
- Crushed shadows from window-side contrast.
- Soggy midtones that make greens look sad.
Presets to rely on
- Citrus Clean – Pulls yellows toward neutral and boosts whites so ceramic plates look fresh.
- Tabletop Glow – Adds a gentle matte curve, keeping highlights from blowing out shiny sauces.
- Midnight Snack – For home shots after sunset; it lifts shadows while reducing noise.
Shooting tips paired with presets
- Angle: try a 45° tilt so textures stay visible. Apply the preset first, then tweak exposure on the main subject using the brush.
- Light source: slide the plate closer to a window, then let the preset remove the leftover warm tint.
- Styling: keep props matte. Bold presets will overemphasize glossy clutter.
With this combo, both home-cooked ramen and café pastries look bright, crisp, and delicious—no DSLR needed.
