Feedback on quality issues

I would love some insight about why this image was rejected. It was made with AI. I edited it in Photoshop to scale up the size and remove imperfections. I didn't upload any other images at the same time and haven't uploaded anything similar. Any advice? Thanks!

Your asset is full of rendering errors: 

(Including the keybord). 

To remove all imperfactions, you would have a huge amount of work to do.

[christinei59404639]

Thank you. This is helpful. Are there ways to prevent these rendering issues? I'm curious how others who produce images with AI for stock on Adobe get around this.

I'm confused because I've downloaded AI-generated images from Adobe that had similar rendering issues (like signage with abstract shapes for letters). So, I just thought people understood that they have to do some editing when it comes to AI, as I have. Maybe Adobe is improving their standards (not a bad thing).

"So, I just thought people understood that they have to do some editing when it comes to AI,"

I rest my case. I just recently stated elsewhere that so many bad AI assets were originally being accepted because moderators were poorly trained and assumed that there should be allowances for bad, simply because it's AI. Editing an asset is one thing. Many buyers will do that. But FIXING issues, whether a photograph or AI, is up to the contributor, not the buyer.

Buyers won't fix the issues on a bad asset. They will do only, if their life depends on that. They will simply avoid generative AI the next time. And that hurts the serious contributors.

Some moderators are doing pass through moderation, which on the other hand lets the customer doing the hard work. And so they are complaining. You can't afford to lose tens of tens of hours, do a selection, just to find out that the asset you selected is unusable. If you bill your customer between $50 and $150 per hour you just can't afford to deliver such a scrap job.

[daniellei4510]

No, there is no way around it. No easy way, at least. 99.9% of all AI generated assets are going to require at least some degree of editing. It might take 15 minutes, it might take a couple of hours, or it might not even be worth trying to fix the issues. 

[christinei59404639]

I get it. There's no "case" to be made. It's a conversation, not an argument. I'm trying to learn and better understand because the assets that are already available on the site include plenty of imperfections/rendering issues, like I mentioned. I'm all for improving the standards, I just don't see how contributing in this way will be at all beneficial for me as a contributor with the heavy lift required to edit and the little offered in sales. I'll pursue other types of contributions.

If you want to do stock for a living, forget it. There are only very few of us who can live from their contributions. They mostly live in low wage countries, where $25 is a months pay.  And you need a huge amount of assets to get a steady sales flow. 10,000, 20,000? Who knows. If you are having 1,000 assets and doing one sale per day, 10,000 assets probably will get you 15 sales a day.

[christinei59404639]

I appreciate the guidance!

[Abambo]

You're welcome!

You need to manually fix the issues. If you can't fix, do not upload. As AI gets better, there will be less issues. But some people take the generated asset, und submit. That is not the correct way.

The image is too dark. The right hand is stretched. There is a wierd spot under her fingers. The keyboard keys have some wierd shapes.

[christinei59404639]

Thank you, Ralph!

Kind of unrealistic, given that both the phone and the laptop don't appear to be turned on. 🙂

I don't think that moderators do that kind of research. 😂

Yes, of course the image as it is now would need work to be used for commercial purposes. I'm a designer and I have used images like this with blank screens to add my own content. So, I imagined someone would use this in a similar fashion.

THe blank screen is not an issue. I would even prefer a green screen.
