Tried to make a word in colorful teddy plush but it says me it is against the guidelines. 

So I tried to say fur instead. That worked but didn't give me the result I wanted.

sarebbe utile nel caso di dichiarazione di violazione delle linee guida sapere quale linea guida sia stata ritenuta violata così da capire eventualmente quale sia il problema e nel caso sottoporre una richiesta per risolvere il problema

It would be nice if the error messages came with a reason why an image violates your policy. I've uploaded several images that have been rejected. Some images, while I disagree, I can understand why an automated image checker would flag them, like an image of a statue in a public square. Others, like an image of a graffiti monkey (attached), I have no idea why it would be flagged.

Hey @James Frelinger 

 

I have had images with a busy background rejected as well. Consider having/ putting the image on a white background.

Cheers

while using the video creator for the first time, I input a prompt, but received an Error message re: prompt has unaccepted words or characters. It would be helpful if there was a link to click on that outlines unacceptable symbols, formatting, etc for the prompt. Alternately, highlight the sections of the prompt that are causing the problem so I can edit them out. Thanks.

Here's an idea...

If a word -or words- in a video prompt violate Adobe's user guidelines, how about telling the user that BEFORE the video is created rather than just create the video without the words and then charge the user credits for a video that doesn't represent what they wanted since a key word in the prompt was removed.  

I mean c'mon,Adobe strips out that word out BEFORE a user has a chance to correct their "mistake" -and it would be a mistake as there is NO way for a user to know what Adobe is going to say violates their user guidelines- then it means the user is being punished since they are loosing credits and not getting the they wanted. Now, how fair is that?

How hard would it be for Adobe to let a Firefly user know that a word -or words- in their prompt violated Adobe's user policy BEFORE Adobe creates a video that doesn't represent what a user wanted -since perhpas important prompt words were removed. I mean Open AI does it with Sora so why can't Adobe do the same in Firefly? Is Adobe not as technically advanced as Open AI?

C'mon Adobe, you're better than this.

You are ADOBE. You cater to high end artists of all types with the leading vector and raster image software on the market. I just asked Firefly to generate a vector image that can be further manipulated with Adobe Illustrator, LITERALLY ASKING YOUR AI TO MAKE YOUR OTHER PRODUCTS MORE IN DEMAND, and Firefly cant generate it. 

I tried the same prompt with ChatGPT and it generated an image. More importantly, it generated an image for adults, not a children's comic book.

Hi @danielle_2108 ,

 

Hi,

 

I tried "people with curly hair" and "people with wavy hair" and got successful gens.

 

Could you share your full prompt?

If you are getting an error, I do not believe it is from "curly hair" or "wavy hair". Please show us your full prompt that is generating an error.

What about curly hair?? I've tried "curls" "curly" "wavy" "wavy hair" "curly hair"..all tells me the same thing - that it's against community guidelines

I often have no idea why a prompt is not executed and can be marked for evaluation. Even after editing the prompt, it continues to be marked. I am completely in the dark about what I am doing wrong and have no idea that I am breaking the rules. So mark or highlight the word(s) or part of the sentence that are involved.
