Before & After Adobe LightRoom
Adobe LightRoom is a great tool to add some light/shadow effects and to the image, you may add colored lights or take the capture to the B/W channel.

Here is a shot of a wooden flower vase in my lightBox.The first one is before the LightRoom effect, the light source is from the Nikon SB900 speed light. [Click the image to enlarge]

In this shot (same subject) I add four lights with colors in LightRoom, and some shadows.[Click the image to enlarge]
Preparing the Scene for a good capture.
It is not that easy, yes you may use the Point and Shot cameras for daily quick capturing. If you want to have a good shot you may want to set-up the scene and arrange the objects in the positions that suit you.
Here is a studio set-up for a shot, I used the natural lights from the windows and the room light, Nikon D90 with Nikon 35mm lens with f/1.8 to get the DOF effect, subjects are Watermelon, Orange [made of candle]and The Chinese’s Porcelainin in different distance from each other.
