Question

AI images rejected for 'quality issuses' - really?

Dear all, I've made a lot of effort to create good AI images with Nano Bana Pro. So I've updated just these 2 images to Adobe but they were rejected for 'quality issuses'

- In my opinion they have no 'quality issuses' or see I something wrong?

- The topic is in my opinion good too, or not?

- Or do Adobe not accept AI content anymore? But this can be dangerous because the quality of AI images increasing from month to month and you make images that you can't do on the old way

- So, should I go back to my old 3D program or to my Fuji Camera?

- Or has Adobe Stock no future?

I can understand Adobe to stop the flood of poor generated AI images, but they should be open for good ones.

I'm an old guy in stock since 2006 and was on Fotolia before Adobe.

Thanks for your feedback

Just because you used AI doesn't mean it's perfect. Quite the opposite.  AI makes lots of mistakes.

 

It's the Contributor's job to closely examine output for quality & accuracy prior to submission. Then, it's the Reviewer's job to approve assets they think customers will want to buy.  

 

The Finance space is very competitive, with 23 million results, and most of it is AI.

I agree, AI images have errors but they are getting better from iteration to iteration. Understand from all the usefull answers to my question that I have to be very carefull concerning quality. And. Absolutely, my images have to fullfill the demands of clients, in presence and future.  I stay in competition with all the other contributors. So I need niches with demand to sell. Guess Adobe needs fresh content. With the fast growing AI possibilities it's possible to create new visual approaches.

Yes, Adobe still accepts AI generated assets. But even one small error can result in a rejected image. The face of the coins I've circled are indistinctive as to what is being represented.

Interesting view. Thanks. I don't want to use brands like krugerrand maple leaf. For this I have to blurr it or phantasy coin. can be discussed in the overall view of the image, but it is a small error

25finance01.jpeg - the upper right part of the image is overexposed

25finance02.jpeg - the figure in the front is out of focus, though the other objects immediately surrounding him are not

Oh yes, you are right. Thanks. The first image is overexposed. I should look on histogram, It's attached. I should not use 'Hi-Key' in my prompts. The corrected version is attached too and better.

For the second. The depth of field is not logical in real world. But good for the image. It's not a photo, it's 3D. Anyway, you get a perfect depth of field in AI is difficult. I have to work on my prompts.

I used Gemini 3 to bring the little guy in the corner into sharper focus. I think this might have been the main issue, since letters and numbers are sharp, it follows that the man should be in focus as well.man.jpg

This images are Great! The problem for Adobe is much bigger. The quality of AI has drastically improved in just months, the problem is that they look too creepy for their perfection. In my opinion it's a fad, some clients will definitely have use for AI imagery, but soon most will not care for it for their "fake factor" a big no for most marketing.

look I'm an oldie too, a professional photographer with over 30 yrs shooting, I started last January exclusively with photos and videos (including drone) and not only am I having fun, I am seeing nothing but growth month to month.

Like I said, your shots are awesome, don't stop making them, perhaps pause uploading AI to Adobe and focus on using your Fujifilm camera, as you look for an agency that is looking for illustrative AI work like yours.

 

cheers!

Thanks a lot for your reply Francisco. Yes I agree with the over-artificiality of AI. For this I created images which can't be real. For me they are more 3D content. I know Cinema 4D but to do this in this program it is much too much effort. Nano Banana Pro is very good. But not perfect. We will see better versions in the next 3-6 months. Yes, there will be always a way 🙂
