Hi guys, I just got a batch of my images rejected due to quality issues. These images are AI-generated PNGs with transparent backgrounds, mainly featuring close-ups of everyday objects that could be used as assets by users. I’ve also seen similar images in the portfolio of a top seller in one of the previous weeks. Could anyone share any insight into why these images were rejected? Thanks. I've listed a few of the images in the attachment.

In a perfect cutout, they would blend perfectly in the background. That is not the case here.

The edge cut-outs and background removal needs to be perfect. Sometimes it helps to view them in black.

That's true, the edges aren't clean enough. I'll try to make them better next time. Besides this, do you have any other suggestions?

If you want to do those sharp angles correctly, you need to "overdelete" and reconstruct.

To be clear: for this to work, you will need to paint the mask, and not use the eraser! The mask can be painted with black to erase and white to reconstruct. By painting the mask, you work nondestructively.

For the last screenshot, I've switched off the visibility of the reference layer.

Your bowl isn't perfectly round, maybe? And I'd lose the reflections. They don't really seem to work as well as they should.

Also, I don't know if it qualifies as a reason for rejection, but you should probably crop some of these closer to the subject. Like the panda, for example.

I don't think the bowl necessarily has to be perfectly round, but your suggestion to make the subject matter closer is definitely a good one. Thanks.

You could be right. But sometimes I bring attention to things I would have fixed myself. 🙂 I still believe, however, that the highlights don't look realistic enough, and the asset would stand up well without them or at least subdued. Some seem detached from the fruit itself or like bits of mold on the straberries..
