P: Generated images violate user guidelines

 

So as you can see, it's a PG-13 relatively inoffensive image of a woman in a bunny outfit. The top worked fine, and I was able to complete the top ear, which is cool. When I tried to extend the bottom with generative fill, though, I got this warning. They're just a pair of legs wearing stockings, and I wanted to extend it.

It feels like a false flag - though I could be wrong? I find myself thinking it would do the same for women in swimsuits.

Figured I'd share here.

The app is totally useless. I do edit photos of women, but they are all DRESSED  for God's sakes. There's no nudity whatsoever in the pics. 10 times out of 10 I get guideline violation message. Prompt, no prompt- same result. It looks like when the cloud detects ANY type of a female in the picture, it rejects it by default. This is completely rediculous. Well, gonna have to wait for some other AI plugin to come up to do the job.

@Programmierung98A6 What are you entering for prompts when it fails?

I just did the 25.1 update available this morning. Generative fill worked flawlessly without prompts, when fiixing hair and other wardrobe issues on a lingerie model, delivering 3 useful high resolution results each time. No violation messages. Also no warning that Beta required me to update MacOS.

Actually, you can remove it yourself simply by using the official release of Photoshop, which is the one you are actually paying for. Using the beta is done on a volunteer basis and you are not required to participate in the project.

I tried to remove a cigarette from a woman's fingers on a wedding photo and because she was holding a wine glass with the same hand, next to her cleavage, Firefly branded me a pornographer. If we can't be treated like adults when testing a tool we're literally paying good money for, I'd prefer not to have it at all. Relase it when it's caught up to 21st century attitudes to a women's right to wear whatever she wants and then let me know - but until then it's just not ready for serious use in portrait photography. 99% of my clients want items removed from the background. If I can't make a selection around these areas without Firefly also detecting what's outside of the selection, then imposing some sort of Irainian style censorship on them, I won't use it at all. I expect better than this from Adobe. Just not cool at all.

The AI can take inputs in a bunch oof languages so my guess is elk means something flaggable in some other language.

Retouching a birthmark on the cheek? Violates user guidelines!

Changing my beard to be a clean shave? Violates user guidelines!

Repearing my cats foot, which was just out of frame? Violates user guidelines!

Removing the print on my shirt? Violates user guidelines!

Generating an axe? Violates user guidelines!

Generating a cats body, just from its head as a source? Violates user guidelines!

Fixing a house flies wings in a macro shot, which are partially out of frame? Violates user guidelines!

Fixing a butterflies wings, which are just out of frame? Violates user guidelines aswell!

 

About 15-25% of all my generative expands end up being blocked as false-positives.

 

It's really disappointing seeing the new Photoshop being so capable, yet straight up refusing its service, because of distrust in me, the user. Either make the "user guideline violation" classifier a LOT more lax, or provide the user with an option to "continue anyway" at the users descretion of staying within user guidelines.

 

I've had it happen multiple times since using the beta that I had to put an image out now, and it was just missing one last detail, but Photoshop refused to do it, because it falsely thought it violated user guidelines. This is an absolute no-go. I am the user, I know better what I'm working with. So let me decide and let me take responsibility!

Hi everyone, quick update ✨

 

With Photoshop (beta) app version 25.1, we have added the ability to request a review for false violations. You may choose to include the image in your review by checking the box "Include image and layer data with your feedback" and attach a note with your review request.

 

 

This will help us improve the experience for everyone. Thank you all!

Caity

Love it, lol, no charge. Note that short prompts (especially single words) are often a problem. I find the wordier I get, the better chance something will go through without the violation error.
