Quality issues on my AI image

[YamiGabi]

Greetings,

can someone explain what is the issue with this picture? It seems Adobe has rejected my image claiming there are quality issues.

They are not only claiming to see quality issues, I saw them at the first sight, looking at the glasses. The glasses are deformed. I didn't even need to look further. If you look further, you will also see spooky fingers, the eyes that are not OK, etc.

Sorry for the offtopic.
I sometimes review this forum and the forum where buyers complain about what they bought and how the moderators let this pass - I haven’t found a single topic where your expert comment was not present. Although I don’t understand how it’s possible to buy an AI image for a serious commercial project and not notice 7 fingers or artifacts, instead of buying more expensive images from professionals (I don’t know what that section of the elite is called) - but among millions of AI images There really are a lot of obvious defects. With your ability to easily find problems in an image, even in miniature, and your masterful use of Photoshop, you can become a very cool and popular blogger on YouTube. There are more and more people who are interested in AI images every day.

I spend my time here. So I do not have spare time to spend on other media. I am a photographer, not a generative AI specialist. Basically, my experience in AI is very limited. But I check generative AI assets like photographs (and I've learned to count fingers). I won't pretend to be a beginner in Photoshop, but definitely, there are people more talented with this program than I am. By far, you will find better experts here. But if you are doing digital pictures for 30 years, you have a certain experience.

Thanks for the positive vibes.

I don’t understand how it’s possible to buy an AI image... and not notice 7 fingers...

It's hard to judge quality from low resolution previews. In fact, it's nearly impossible. Customers put faith in Adobe Stock to accept only highest quality assets. 

After purchase however, customers get a close look at the sordid details.  When 7 fingers are sighted, they'll rightfully complain and demand a refund.

Contributors whose work receives excessive refunds can find their account temporarily or permanently blocked.  In recent weeks, we've seen multiple posts about blocked accounts and I think careless submission practices are a big part of that. 

Reviewers have the thankless job of performing assessments as quickly as possible.  Since they're human, some assets slip through the cracks.

Buyers should be sure that contributers only contribute correct assets. Moderators are there to protect buyers from bad assets, but if contributors did not check their contributions correctly, and when moderators did not catch the bad assets, then you can't really expect the buyer to detect the issues in the preview. 

Image moderation, btw, is a very demanding job, as you need to detect multiple possible issues in assets submitted. With the addition of generative AI, a different level of possible failure has been added. That requires additional training.

Why dont you take the time to review your image at a higher magnification? Just looking in a small spot I see several AI-generated errors.

We always tell AI contributors not to rely on the AI software. You must correct the drawings before submission.

In addition to what @Abambo mentioned, there are some fly-away hairs and some small areas that could use spotting. I also ran this through facial restoration software to fix the eyes, nose, mouth and "plasticity" of some areas of the skin.

One thing I do, especially when it comes to fine tuning those all but imperceptable issues is setting up a grid so that I can focus on individual areas of the image. At (as  @RALPH_L mentioned), 100%.

AI is notoriously bad at fine details.  Close inspection of every quadrant of every image is essential.

Correct problems if you can, otherwise discard it and start over.

Compare your best work with current Stock inventory to ensure yours is as good or better than what Stock has.  And hopefully it's unique in some way to set it apart from the millions of other assets you're competing with.  

Acceptance into Stock doesn't guarantee sales.  It's just one small piece of the process.

Giving customers what they want & need will translate into more sales.

Hope that helps.  Good luck.

And then some client for a large commercial business will buy the image and find something bad in the image, write on the forum, Adobe will return the funds, and delete your asset... if not banned at all 😃

First: It doesn't need to be a customer of a big company. It may well be a single person business. None of us would accept bad assets, if the asset does not fit our needs. And Adobe won't ban you for one bad asset.
