AI images rejected without explanation. Help?

Community Beginner ,
Apr 10, 2025 Apr 10, 2025

Hi there! I'm a photographer and Adobe Stock contributor for many years now and have been dipping my toes into AI. I'm noticing it's much tougher to get AI images approved and would love some help if anybody has a workflow that works best for them, I'd love your thoughts. Below are just some of the rejected images ( I upscaled upres'd each image to 300DPI). Does anyone have a workflow for AI images that Adobe seems to consider best for AI image quality? Thank you!

The workflow is simple. View your images! At best, at 200%. Look at the hands and anything with detail. All of your images that you posted here have deformed fingers and toes.

I'm quite certain that the first place Moderators look is hands. If they find a fault there, they press "reject". These images look good at first when viewed at screen size, but when zooming in, rendering errors are easier to find.

There was surely a rejection reason. 

 

Upscaling to 300dpi (dots per inch) is nonsense. First it would be ppi (pixels per inch) , and second, digital pictures are measured in pixels. I can put the same image in 100 ppi, 2000 ppi or whatever value you want, without changing the picture. Dpi is only important when you want to print a picture, as the size of the print and the pixel density give you an indication of the quality of the print. And newspaper prints do need less dpi as high-quality pho

@muhammad_7751,

Could you please use inline pictures? That's easier to handle:

When your posting your assets, that have been refused, you should use attached pictures, because for those, the quality will be better.

It is probably a little more difficult to lift the barbell over your head like this.

If you are a seasoned stock photographer, simply check your generative AI assets like you would do with your photographs, but add another check for rendering errors.

Just looking at the histogram of your third asset:

It's underexposed. But you also have rendering errors like these here:

Abambo_2-1744305674158.png

Abambo_3-1744305763077.png

Additionally, you have aliasing and an outline, as you can see on the hand.

 

 

I did not check the other assets, they probably have similar issues.

Thanks Abambo, quick question: As an AI image are we expected to deliver images to the highest standards of photography as you are pointing out here? Because I don't think any AI generative tools will be able to satisfy quality issues like aliasing in an ultra-zoomed in image. Would love your thoughts and expertise.

Absolutely. And it can be done.

Look at it from the customer's side. The customer expects the same quality. And as being a customer myself, the biggest cost factor is, when you have sold your client a concept, that you cannot relize, because the image is not at the required quality.

Here are some fixes I would have made prior to submission. Some are subtle, so I've marked changes on the original. (Since the majority of my assets are being marked as too similar, I might just as well spend more time doing stuff like this.)

Well, really - how can you disagree with them if the fingers and toes are really deformed or underdeveloped?! Although at first glance the images look good. I had the same thing, until I started enlarging them before sending, where I saw everything myself. So I refined and reworked them. Although also at first glance it looked like perfect)
Enlargement before sending - a big help!
