Generative AI rejections. Please help.

I read the directions carefully, and I have submitted 10 AI images with 7 rejections. Oof! I hate to waste the reviewers' time. I understand a couple of them, but I can't see the difference between some of the rejected ones and some of the accepted ones.  Here are some examples of rejected images. They all said "Quality Issues." What am I doing wrong??

    In general when zoomed in to 100% view, these examples are slightly blurry and are lacking fine detail, and there is noticeable noise and artefacts.  Filters or effects, or the appearance of them, are mostly discouraged.

    Hi Angela, 

     

    I have better experiences with AI based upscaler removing artefacts/pixels as well. In comparison AI Upscaler like Nero AI upscaler work much better than the traditional upscaler in Photoshop or the Midjourney upscaler. Try it out..
    Best luck, Bolli

      I doubt that your upscale is performing well. But in all cases, you are violating the terms of your contributor agreement, by uploading scaled up assets and that will get you banned.

        As a side note: some artefacts get “enhanced” by upscaling, making them more visible.

            The tips in "these tips" might be very helpful, but I was hugely turned off by the auto audio that started playing and startled me badly. Just FYI.

              What audio???

               

              Perhaps I don't notice any audio because autoplay is blocked from my browser preferences.   Highly recommended, BTW. 😉

                Thank you!  I realize you're a photographer and may not be a "digital artist" - maybe someone else could answer.  But I find myself having difficulty reducing noise or sharpening without it looking like some other filter. Any tips? I have both photographs and traditional art in my Adobe stock portfolio, and the standards are different for each (and I can comply with them, with a fairly high percentage of accepted submissions), but I am having trouble figuring out where the standards fall for AI. For traditional art illustration, for example, paper texture is okay, but it seems to not be for AI, even when attempting to simulate traditional art media? I'm very confused.

                The file type being submitted in would dictate the standards in my opinion.  These are submitted as jpgs, so they'll be scrutinized as photos.  I don't submit vectors so I know very little of their quality requirements.

                 

                For noise reduction and sharpening to be successful, there needs to be a good starting point with a lot of time detail present.  I think this will challenging with AI, as the content has been sourced and manipulated already, potentially compressing the information used.  And who knows how the original files looked when they started.  I think however the AI program outputs a file is more or less what you are left with, and it's up to you to judge if the quality is sufficient for Adobes standards.

                 

                Good luck!
