Generative Fill Guidelines and Censoring

I've been a photographer for over 30 years and I'm upset, as are the designers, magazines, ad agencies, and my fellow photographers and editors, that Adobe is censoring all our work.

I shoot for Vogue, ELLE, Harper's, NYFW, Couture Weeks in NY, London and Paris, and Adobe is censoring everyone's works.  I take one easy step to expand a frame on a 4x3, and I'm told my work does not meet community standards.   

I think the entire industry should be in an uproar over this.    These are artists' tools.  If you buy a tube of paint or a canvas, does not allow you to paint what you want? If you buy a notebook, does it tell you what you can write?   Adobe is censoring artists and I think it's awful.

My goodness. Please do something about this isssue.

I get the dreaded brown box way too often when trying to edit photos showing too much skin even though the "model" is wearing clothing that's appropriate for being in public.

I recently tried to change a shirt on a model and after waiting , I was rejected.

Still not Fixed, I have the same type of issue, not just once but constantly. All I want to do is fix skin blemishes, skin tones, make smooth skin.  The word skin almost always triggers a violation.  Other words that trigger violations: lips, hair, blonde hair, bikini, mini skirt, woman, face, nose. Not like I am creating masterpieces, much of what i do is for Amazon review photos that I want to look better. All photos are fully clothed, though they might be with underwear or bras - you know the stuff they sell on amazon. Try taking a photo of yourself in underwear, then edit it PS and use gen-fill to smooth leg skin - Big ugly blinking orange message pops up saying I violated community guidelines and I need to read them.  Well, I've read them at least 5 times and don't see what I am violating. There is no advice on how to correct the issue and none of the suggestions I seen so far are of value – (IE: use a different program, are you kidding? PS is the world’s best photo editor, it needs to be able to do these simple tasks without upsetting users with censorship)
Sure doesn't seem like they are listening, going to install Stable Diffusion this weekend and try it.  I read there a plug-in versions for it inside photoshop with much less limits on content generation. Instead of a big ugly violator error, I wish the response would say specifically what is unacceptable and then help me to correct it and get PS to do what I need.  Afterall this is what was advertized and why I pay monthly for it.
Oh my :The message body contains [removed], which is not permitted in this community.

I am an adult customer of Adobe's. I am also a professional artist. I have been using photoshop regularly for nearly 30 years now.
I feel I should be trusted by adobe that I will use this technology in a safe and tasteful way. The current restrictions are rather off-putting, as photoshop is an essential tool in my process for creating my art. I would like to continue to use it and grow with it in an unrestricted way.

I have read the generative ai terms and I find it concerning that nudity would be among the list of prohibited types of content, along side such disgusting categories as terrorism and child exploitation. Nudity should not be condemned. Especially not for adult artists and working professionals that pay for access to tools like Photoshop.

The human body should be appreciated, and not categorized or condemned along side of things like terrorism. I thought Adobe would have understood that restrictions on artists are restrictions on our creativity.  It changes how I feel about using the software. In my art, if I paint the likeness of human (adult/tasteful) nudity, I am not doing anything wrong or of any concern of anyone outside of myself and my client.  I would like to feel that Adobe respects me as a competent adult and artist. To limit my creative expression in any way simply because of what some other criminal delinquent might do with it, is insulting and inappropriate. And it goes against the freedom of expression that is what makes art so personal and compelling.

@davescm This is extremely unhelpful. Why post this reminder without pointing out what the issue is

Passive aggressive bot-posted nonsense like this should be against community standards.

If something was said, or posted against the Community rules, please just say so.   When you post a link to the rules, it appears as though you are saying something was violated, and we have to GUESS what was violated.

So, please, just advise us, of what was a violation.  I am quite sure NOBODY meant to violate any community guidelines, we just asked a simple question.

@SheldonvL Please read the community guidelines before posting.

Having this issue exactly. Wake up Adobe. People have breasts and we have to retouch the material that clothes them, just the same as bellys ankles and elbows.

I love the tool to select an area of my picture and use generative AI to fix or enhance it but I hate the inaccurate content restrictions. I am working on illustrating the bible, which is a huge task even with AI to help. Often I find there are problems with hands, feet, and faces. It is great to be able to fix them with the lasso tool and generative AI. The sad truth is that I am constantly being hit with guideline violations that seem to have no basis that I can see or understand. A general guideline violation message is not enough.

For example, Here is a picture I am working on. It is a scene from the bible. 

There are a number of problems with the people in this scene that I'm trying to fix. For some reason, these two heads will not work with any prompt I can think of. I've tried long prompts like "a woman in a biblical scene with a serious expression on her face". I've tried short prompts like "Woman face". No matter what I try, I get the violation pop-up. 

No matter what I try to do I get a guideline violation. There is no explanation of what guideline I am violating. I can't figure it out. I am constantly sending feedback on the images I work on but nothing seems to improve. In fact, it seems to be getting worse. At times I feel so frustrated that I am actively looking for an alternative to Photoshop. Has anyone had a clue about how to deal with this roadblock?
