Well, quality issues are quality issues, not limited to this, but including these types of errors:

(aliasing and white outlines as seen at 100%)

(Colour noise and artefacts.)

In addition, your assets do not have an embedded colour profile. sRGB is required.

The towel wouldn't have a crease here. But question: Are you enlarging your assets or upscaling them with AI? There's a difference.

Thanks for identifying, and i am using Ai for upscaling the images not enlarging it, could it be that, since i am using a free tool (bigjpg), its upcaling and loosing quality?

Well, it's not the greatest comparison, but I enlarged and screenshotted your image magnified 200%. You can see some stair-stepping start to appear. I enlarged the second image 300%. It's soft, but at least there is no stair-stepping. I use Gigapixel AL. The original was 2048 on the longest side.

Please enlarge to 100% and evaluate the image quality.
The image quality is rough because it is enlarged too much.
Did someone tell you that you can make a profit by enlarging it and registering it in stock?

The original Ai image was around 1500px which i upscaled 4x, secondly, i dont understand what you mean by "Did someone tell you that you can make a profit by enlarging it and registering it in stock?" aint that actally right?

Since the image quality is degraded by the enlargement, it will likely continue to be rejected unless the processing method is changed.

You should not submit two nearly identical images with different color schemes. Dozens of contributors are having images rejected for being too similar.

Check your assets at 100% for rendering errors and inconsistencies.

Thank you for the details, i would like to ask regarding the sRGB, i am converting my PNG images into JPG (with sRGB checked) using photoshop save for web method, am i doing it wrong?

daniellei4510

Community Expert

sRGB is correct. You aren't doing anything wrong, but I test using the normal Save as...jpeg. Surprisingly, the legacy Save for Web gives me a larger file by about 1 megabyte and I guess therefore a higher quality file. But nothing noticeable to the human eye, I'm sure. Personally, I submit my psd files by way of Lightroom, which converts my files to jpg automatically upon submission.

I would like to understand this also, as all of my AI generated images are being rejected for 'quality issues'.

Post one or two rejected images here and we can take a look.
