Quality issues on my AI generated illustrations

[BH_Moon3191]

Hello,

I mainly use generative AI, but recently I've been receiving many rejections for my photos.

So this time, I uploaded some simple illustrations instead. However, even the illustrations that seem simple to me were all rejected due to quality issues.

I would appreciate your advice on what might be the problem.

I looked at the first image of a check mark and what I noticed at 200% is the dark blue thin line around the image is jagged.

I would select the the button in Photoshop, reduce the selection by 4 pixels. Smooth the selection and then resave it.

Here are other drawing errors.

Try putting your transparencies against a black Solid Color to check for cutout issues.

First Checkmark: your transparency mask is not good enough:

In addition, there are rendering errors:

Your asset also exposes lines, where no lines should be:

Second: the shadow is odd:

The mask is erroneous too:

Blue eye, the first:

Bad masking:

Eye (the last): Rendering errors:

And, you got it by now, huge cutout errors:

You should trim your assets as required (Do: Crop to minimize empty space around the images.):

This:

As you are probably lacking the talent to create these simple icons from scratch, use generative AI to design them, then use a vector program to recreate them. They would be clean, usable and, as a vector asset, scalable.

Hello.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond.

After reviewing your feedback, I realized that my illustration had quite a few errors. I also learned that background removal is not easy. I used Adobe Express for background removal, but should I manually edit it in Photoshop for better results?

Thank you.

Manual editing is always necessary.

[daniellei4510]

Background remove with Adobe Express is fine for personal use, but higher quality or follow-up editing is required for commercial use.

Automatic background removal is ok for quick and dirty jobs, that do not need accurate working. I've used this method for PowerPoint shows. That works best, if the final output is a small image, and the source is a good quality high resolution asset. Reducing the assets size will hide most imperfections. That is not an option for stock, however. 

For stock, you need to work highly accurate, and that is not possible with automatic background removal. You really need Photoshop or a similar program.

But, as I pointed out, there are also other issues with your assets, so, you would need to rework them anyhow.
