My work was rejected based on quality standards and I wanted to get your feedback on why. Nothing specific was mentioned about my image, only general examples like exposure issues, soft focus, excessive filtering or artifacts/noise.no matter how slight.

Can you give me your opinion?

Thanks so much,

The text with the refusal is stock text, not targeted to your asset. Check your asset at 100% and submit only if it is perfect. Yours is exposing a lot of errors introduced by upscaling and sharpening. Do not forget: when you upscale, you upscale also the imperfections.

And when doing portraits, you need to get the eyes in focus, in photography and with generative AI.

Hello,

I would avoid the toning. A reason for rejection that could also be given—white balance!

If you are new to AI, then in addition to traditional editing, you will usually find that you need more AI to fix AI. I ran this through facial restoration software for her face, and image enhancement software to smooth out the hair. I whitened the teeth. I used PortraitPro to slim her chin and cheekbones just slightly. I also removed the haloing on her collar.

I still don't believe these fixes would result in an acceptance, as the skin tones and over all sepia quality of the image would still result in a refusal.

Yes. I wasn't trying to make it perfect. Another pass through enhancement software might improve upon that. But that gets pricey, and that's not my job. 🙂 The hair is too smooth as well, and too much follow-up work would be involved in general. The point was, most AI results can benefit from further use of AI editing tools.
