Most of the AI photos in my DJ Girl Batch have been rejected can anyone explain the cause, so I take care of it in future?

Generative AI can't replace artists.  If you think it can, you're not using it correctly.  It's merely a tool.  You still need talent and good editing skills to create commercial-ready artwork.

 

Select 5 of your very best AI images.  Examine each one closely at 100-300% magnification.  Fix errors if you can or discard the image from your submission stack.  

 

Compare your edited images with current Stock inventory to ensure it's as good or better than what Stock has.  That should help reduce your rejection rate.

I've changed my approach to making much simpler AI images and have seen a much higher acceptance rate.  When a lot is going on in an image it's easy to find a problem somewhere.

Seems to be a wise decision.

It can be hard work to correct the errors! But first you have to look at the assets with a critical eye.

This is going to be my new signature (when I remember to add it at least): Every time I hear someone say, “All an AI designer does is type a prompt and hit return,” I’m reminded of all the times I’ve heard someone say, “All a photographer does is point their camera and push a button.”

You need to cure those errors before submitting. Generative AI is prone of errors, and in most cases, you need to regenerate part of the asset to get errors corrected. A last touch-up in Photoshop and other programs may be necessary. It's not enough to throw a prompt against the wall an submit. Customers are very critical of errors in such assets.

All kinds of issues that would lead to refusals. Here are a few.

A quick glance at each shows the following errors. There are probably other errors too, but I stopped looking after I spotted the first errors.


1. Lips poorly drawn, buttons in both sides of shirt placket

2. Same as above; strange shadow on necklace 

3. Same problems as no. 1

4. Blurry, buttonholes in both sides of placket but no buttons 

5. The cord hanging down her front isn't drawn properly 

6. Her left arm ends in a stump...

7. Her left hand has two few fingers

 

It would have taken a Moderator just a few seconds to hit the reject button in these. You must zoom in and correct all errors before submitting.
