I'm also wondering what the pic will look like if you set your DSLR to oversaturate.
Yes, I could sharpen the first image a little bit more with Photoshop but it won't look like the original anymore. The reason why its blurred is because it was taken at f8.0 with probably 1/1.20 shutter speed, which demands a surgeon's hands, or a tripod. I took the image at aperture value 8 in order to make sure the entire image remains clear (since higher value = more light let in), as opposed to the focus being solely on the center of the image.
If I oversaturate the image I'm guessing that the picture will bleed color, and the box would probably disappear into white. I'm not a fan of Photoshopped images and/or oversaturation since my concentration is on food photography. Saturating food makes it look unnatural, and emphasizes the oil and grease. A setting with natural light is usually the best pick.
Besides, if I went upstairs to get my tripod, the donuts would have been gone by the time I got down. My family members were already giving me evil glares when I told them not to eat so I can take pictures
