Photoshoots

Viscous food-pull dish hero

The food-pull look for dishes whose own pull is already visible in the photo; the stretch is never invented.

Sema will tell you what she needs, look at what you send, and show you the price before anything is made.

Transparent cutout or a scene? Choose with Sema. A cutout is a transparent WebP, with no cutout surcharge. Low quality, square, one reference: 3 credits. Sema quotes other settings before you approve. Cutouts are display examples, not your inputs. This is not perfect background removal; inspect shadows and soft edges before sharing.

Generated lava brownie sample · food-pull hero

Prompt for this example

A real photograph in food advertising, full-frame look with a short telephoto lens, shallow depth of field and fine natural texture. One soft raking light from low camera left catches tapering, connected viscous strands and their attached endpoints, leaving amber glints along the stretch and gentle cocoa-toned shade beneath it. Rich warm color and crisp surface texture carry the tension and gravity of the pull. A menu-ready hero photograph of this exact dish from [your dish photo], one uninterrupted horizontal 4:3 frame. The photo is the only authority for the food: keep the same small white plate and the brownie torn into exactly two halves in their same places, the molten chocolate stretching in the same thin bridges between the halves with the same number of strands and the same endpoints, exactly the same three raspberries beside the halves, the same doneness and crumb. The raking light flatters the existing pull but must not lengthen it, thicken it, or add or move a single strand, nothing added, nothing removed, nothing concealed. Change only the presentation: set the same plate on a clean dark wooden surface, correct the white balance to warm neutral, keep a quiet tidy background, and keep the whole plate visible with clear margin on every side. The dish must read as the very same serving, only better presented. No ice cream, powdered sugar, mint, extra raspberries, steam, forks or text.

Viscous food-pull dish hero

A real photograph in food advertising, full-frame look with a short telephoto lens, shallow depth of field and fine natural texture. One soft raking light from low camera left catches tapering, connected viscous strands and their attached endpoints, leaving amber glints along the stretch and gentle cocoa-toned shade beneath it. Rich warm color and crisp surface texture carry the tension and gravity of the pull.

Tool prompt

Turn the photo in [your dish photo] into one menu-ready hero photograph, one uninterrupted horizontal 4:3 frame (or 1:1 or 16:9 if you prefer), with the whole serving visible and clear margin around the plate. The photo is the only authority for the food. Preserve every visible ingredient and its identity, number and relative amount, the serving count and portion size, doneness, color cues and surface texture, the plate or vessel, the arrangement and plating, and the identity and count of every garnish, each component in its own place. Add nothing and take nothing away: no steam, sauce, crumbs, utensils touching the food or extra portions, and no substituting, duplicating or hiding any ingredient or garnish. Do not cook the dish further or make it look larger or fresher than the photo shows. Improve only the presentation: lighting, white balance, surface, background and table tidiness, shaped by [your presentation: intended menu use, setting and ratio]. [Optional scene: describe a setting or add a photo of one] guides background and setting only and never adds food, ingredients or props that suggest them. Follow the style you choose, which shapes the look and never overrides preservation. For the viscous food-pull look, the photo must already show the pull, and its strands and endpoints stay exactly as photographed. One dish in one frame, with no lettering.

When to use this tool

Give a dish you photographed the polish of a menu hero without restyling the food: a wide hero for a menu, specials board or delivery page, found through pixexid's visual discovery tools. The cutouts shown here are display examples of the look, never your inputs. Choose a transparent cutout or a scene with Sema.

What you get

One AI-made photographic hero: a wide 4:3 opaque JPEG scene by default, or a transparent WebP cutout in the agreed shape. Your dish photo guides the whole serving; inspect the food, shadows and soft edges before use. Cutouts have no surcharge; Sema quotes your settings before approval.

How it works

  1. Upload one clear photo of the plated dish.
  2. Say where the photo will be used, or hand the choice to Sema.
  3. Confirm the price, generate, and check every ingredient and count in the result.

Tips for the best photo

  • Photograph the whole serving with every component readable and nothing cut off.
  • Skip photos where sauce, garnish or doneness is hidden; Sema will ask for a clearer one.

Questions

Will the dish look exactly as I sent it?

The aim is the same serving, better presented: identical ingredients, counts, portion and doneness. It is an AI interpretation, so inspect the result before use.

Can you remove the background from my dish photo?

A cutout isolates a dish and its plate from the background. The cutouts on this page are display examples of what the look can produce: alpha WebP images with the contact shadow kept as a soft semi-transparent shadow. Choose a scene as an opaque JPEG or a cutout as a transparent WebP. Inspect the shadows and soft edges on white, gray, teal and dark. Inspect ingredients, counts and doneness before using your result.

Are the demo dishes real?

No. Every demonstration is an AI-made sample dish generated for this page. No real customer or restaurant is shown.

Which photos are suitable?

Send one sharp photo of a complete plated serving, with every ingredient and garnish count readable and doneness clear. Sema declines blurred or glaring shots, several dishes, cropped or hidden components and unclear doneness, and asks for a clearer photo instead of guessing. Describe the intended menu use and shape; a scene photo is optional and guides only the setting, never extra food.

What does it cost?

Planning with Sema is free. One 4:3 image with one dish reference costs 4 credits at the standard quality tier. A scene image adds another paid reference; another shape or quality can change the price. Sema shows the exact cost for your approval before generation, and another version costs further credits.

Can I download my result?

Yes. You can download your finished image from your account. For a cutout, Download transparent WebP keeps the original alpha file unchanged. It is a raster image, not a layered menu layout or a print-ready file.

Can I revise the result?

Ask Sema what to change and approve a new quote before another generation. A revision uses the result as a paid reference and is not a free manual retouch. Keep the same serving constraints and inspect ingredients, counts and doneness again.

How is my content handled?

Job uploads are deleted after completion, success or failure. Photos attached to Sema are kept while that conversation exists so you can resume it, and released when you detach them or delete the conversation. Private results are stored for your gallery and recovery. Private images and personal uploads are not used to train models; OpenAI processes your prompt and source images to make the result.

Make a background-removal cutout of the exact white round plate holding two chocolate lava brownie halves with a molten chocolate pull stretching between them and exactly three fresh raspberries in front in [your dish photo]: reproduce the same plate with its contents isolated on a fully transparent background, with the table and every other surrounding removed, not white, not colored and no checkerboard pattern. Keep the plate's own contact shadow as a soft semi-transparent black shadow, darkest where it meets the surface and fading outward until fully transparent. Place it fully inside a square 1:1 frame with a clear margin and nothing cropped. The dish is unchanged: same white plate with its wide flat rim, the same viewing angle, the same two brownie halves with the same crackled tops, the same molten chocolate pull with the same thin strands between the halves, and exactly three raspberries in their own places in front. Nothing added, nothing removed, nothing concealed: no sugar dust, extra raspberries, sauce, steam, cutlery, text or watermark.
