Rejected for Quality Issues (Created with Imagine 4 Ultra) – Need Detailed Feedback

Hello everyone,

I recently submitted an image that was created using Imagine 4 Ultra, and it was rejected for “Quality Issues.” I carefully reviewed the file at 100% zoom before uploading, and I’m trying to understand what specific technical issue may have caused the rejection.

At normal view, the image looks properly exposed and clean. However, since it was AI-generated, I’m wondering if the rejection might be due to:

  • Subtle AI artifacts (especially on faces, hands, or edges)

  • Slight softness or lack of critical sharpness

  • Over-smoothed skin or unnatural textures

  • Compression artifacts

  • Background noise or banding

I would really appreciate it if experienced contributors could review it and point out the exact technical issue (sharpness, artifacts, lighting, etc.). I want to improve my future AI submissions and better meet Adobe Stock’s quality standards.

Thank you very much for your help.

    Viewing an image in “normal” view, especially AI, won’t cut it. You need to examine AI assets at a minimum of 100% (200% is better). The hands need work. View them at 200% and you’ll see the issues. Faces lack natural skin texture. Finally, if a buyer wants room for copy, they can do what you did here on their own. Submit the entire asset as is after corrections.
