5. List of important tips during shoot
use different colors of ink, make like spirals with the ink to have a more original photo.
6. List of important tips on how to process in Lightroom (or other software) after shoot?
First of all, we need to get rid of the yellow color from the sunflower oil. In your RAW-converter (I use Adobe Lightroom) there should be an option to decrease the saturation of separate colors. Reduce saturation of yellow and increase its luminance.

After this initial and very important edit you can proceed to editing ink bubbles conversion you may add or delete bubbles. Then adjust the color once again and voilà, the picture is ready!
