Feedback requested: AI images rejected for Technical Quality Issues

Hello Adobe Stock Community,

I am submitting Generative AI images to Adobe Stock, but recently several of my business and corporate portrait submissions have been rejected due to "Quality Issues" (specifically mentioning soft focus, artifacts/noise, or exposure issues).

I am aiming to produce clean, professional-grade stock photos, but I am struggling to pinpoint the exact technical flaws causing these rejections.

I have attached examples of my rejected images (File ID included). I would really appreciate specific feedback from experienced contributors on the following:

1. Where are the main technical defects or artifacts visible in these images?
2. Is the upscaling process causing loss of natural skin/fabric texture or soft focus?
3. What changes in lighting, prompt styling, or post-processing should I make to satisfy Adobe Stock's technical requirements?

Thank you so much for your time and guidance!

On the first image zoom in and look at the texture of his tie as well as his beard. Both are unrealistic.

The quality of your images cannot be evaluated properly based on these tiny thumbnails.

The same issues apply to faces, clothing, hair, etc.

Thank you so much for pointing these out with clear markings! Checking at 200% zoom is a great tip. I will inspect my images closely for hand/anatomy issues and artifacts before submitting next time.

Are you sure the free AI generation tool allows for commercial use? You should read their T&Cs to be sure. Most free services only allow for personal use.

View your assets at 200% prior to submission and you’ll begin to see issues that are in need of improving.

We can’t tell much from these thumbnails. Upload two or three at the size submitted (although there is a 5MB upload limit, so you may have to reduce their size enough to keep them under the maximum size allowed).
