Now i'm guessing here, but i'm sure Chris will confirm that the tweaked picture is probably closer to his dish than his own pic

You'd almost say they could be two totally different dishes

I must admit to taking several pics of my cooking before I post anything. It's surprising how the flash or lack of and the different lighting can affect the final result. Anal as it may be, if the pic isn't a good representation of my food, i normally won't post it or will make some kind of comment re. the colouring. However, i really cannot be assed to bother tweaking it using a photoshop package though :

Maybe i'll forward on any dodgy pics and let you transform them for me ;D ;D
