quality issues help

[Antonina_Voshchenko4273]

I'm just a newbie, so there might be some things I don't understand yet. My AI-generated photo was rejected due to quality issues. Can any experts give me some advice?

Size: 6.81 MB, sRGB color, image size 5200*5200.

Some minor cleanup as noted. Avoid the default AI square format. Give the buyer room to crop or add copy as desired.

Hello,

This may or may not be a consideration, but the background with the blurred lights as round dots are somewhat distracting.

 I think the steam from the cup is okay, as one wants to give the impression of a hot cup of chocolate, especially with the marshmallows on top. Do something else with the background.

Hi, thank you.

Steam vapor & smoke look & behave differently. This looks less like steam from a hot drink and more like cigar or cigarette smoke from behind the cup. It's not convincing. 

AI is rarely accurate. Sometimes it can be fixed, sometimes not. I would discard this and start over with a simpler text prompt.

Hope that helps.

It's more likely not about the size, but rather the lighting, composition, or realism, which probably didn't meet their quality standards.

• You have noise in the image
• upsizing cause aliasing around the cup.
• there are inconsitances in the image, like this: 

The overall size in pixels and the megabytes are not useful quality indicators, except that a 5k image probably means that you upsized the image a lot. sRGB is a requirement for Adobe stock, but I never saw an image getting refused for violating this requirement. But yes, it is good to follow up with this.
