Hi everyone,
I recently submitted an AI-generated image titled "Female Digital Nomad Using Laptop with Solar Panel on Mountain Cliff at Sunrise" (File ID: 1504313463), but it was rejected for "quality issues."

I’ve reviewed Adobe’s technical guidelines, but I’d really appreciate some specific feedback or insight into what might be wrong with this particular image. I tried to ensure proper lighting, composition, and resolution.

Could anyone help point out what technical flaws (e.g., noise, artifacts, focus, exposure) you see in the attached image so I can improve future submissions?

Thanks in advance for your help!

What is this on the distant hill? An AI confabulation of a giant doppelgänger?

Just because a machine makes it, doesn't mean it's perfect. Far from it. Machines make many mistakes, especially with details. And they're too stupid to recognize & correct their mistakes. The best strategy is to zoom in to 100-300% magnification. Identify all the mistakes and fix them if you can. Or discard the image and start over.

Submitting commercial quality AI artwork is very challenging for beginners. You need extra skills & talent to make AI images accurate and acceptable for sale on Stock. Read your Contributor User Guide for more tips.

Good luck.

Both the laptop keyboard and the solar charger are malformed.

The refusal text is not targeted to your asset. What you need to check in addition to the exposure and sharpness, which are probably off, are rendering errors. There are plenty of them. Keyboard, solar panel, the hands, the shoes, the ghost image... Where do you want to start?
