The following image was rejected and really I can not figure it out why? Adobe tells us to ask people in this forum to critique it so I sure would appreciate your help to tell me what you think and why it was rejected. The image is A.I generated.

Correct answer Nancy OShea

If you're new to AI, here are a few things to be aware of:

1) AI makes lots of mistakes. It's far from perfect.

2) AI is not accurate with small details. Closely examine output at 100-300% magnification. Fix errors if you can, or discard & start over.

3) AI often requires many hi-res diffusion cycles to get worthwhile results. This can get costly.

4) Ensure that you have ownership rights to sell your AI artwork commercially. Some services require you to upgrade to a paid plan. Budget accordingly.

5) Nobody is getting rich from generative AI except the service providers—Midjourney, OpenAI and others.

Before you submit, compare your best work against available Stock inventory to ensure that 1) Stock needs it and 2) yours is better than what Stock is selling.

Thanks for your help, Tell me one more thing: if an AI-generated image does not have commercial rights, but the image still gets accepted in a contributor account, can the account get banned later?

Yes. Do not submit assets that were not created by you, or that include assets found elsewhere.

Dozens of low-quality renderings. Always view your assets at 100% to 200% prior to submission.
