Seeking Feedback on Rejected Images.

[Daud Rehan]

Hello Adobe Stock Community,

I'm a new contributor seeking clarification on the rejection of my AI-generated images. I'm interested in understanding the reasons for these rejections and would greatly appreciate any advice or guidance to enhance my content for future submissions.

Rejected images were labelled under "Quality Issues."

Thank you for your support and input.

13.jpg In addition to her skin appearing "plasticized" and thus not really appearing photorealistic, the pupils of her eyes need fixing, her tooth could use some cleanup, loose hairs should be removed, and her bone structure needs to be corrected.

16.jpg Again, pupils need fixing, loose hair cleanup, and her badge needs to say something. Not a known airline, but maybe her name. This is just a bunch of meaningles non-alphabetic scrbbles.

Here is 13.jpg after being processed through some facial restoration software, which fixes the eyes and cleans up the teeth. The skin also looks more realistic. It did introduce another issue, however, in that there is some haloing around the strap of her dress, which would needs fixing.

And last but not least, I just noticed a watermark in the lower right hand corner that needs to be removed. I would also recommend that, in the future, start moving away from the square format, which is the defautl aspect ratio for AI.

I'm in a talkative mood tonight. I'll wrap it up by saying this: Never ever assume that an AI image is not in need of some degree of editing, whether it requires 10 minutes of time or an hour or more. If it's determined that an AI image will take longer than that, it's best to consign it to the trash and move on, especially if you are not adept at photo editing. 99.9% of all AI images require editing.

It is often said of photographers, "You can't be a real artist, since all you do is click a shutter button and it requires no additional thought on your part." But it does, of course, when it comes to editing. Adjusting colors, burning and doging, correcting exposure, dust spotting, enlarging or reducing to improve the composition and more.  The same is becoming true of AI designers. An AI prompt is akin to a shutter button in that sense. "You just create a prompt and no additional thought is required on your part."

But is is. And the tools are now available to photographers and AI designers to do just that.

In addition to all the excellent feedback from @daniellei4510, in the first image there's a strange black line in the model's left eye (right side of frame) just above the lower lid. All of these tiny details matter, and the Adobe Moderators have become much more adept at spotting them.

[Daud Rehan]

Yes absolutely it matters, but I'm a little worried about my content i think it would bit difficult for a person to cop with so many tiny details created from generated AI (free model) and make them super perfect.

I agree. You have to consider the amount of time, and skill, needed to fix all these errors, and decide if the cost is worth the small royalty that you "might" earn. I submit many photographs, and my philosophy has always been that if it takes longer than 5-10 minutes to edit out the flaws, it's not worth it.

Startups may not always be immediately profitable or have a high valuation in their early stages, as I mentioned before I've recently explored it (1 month). So let's see how much time is required to become a worthy contributor as per your qualities.

I definitely had a slow start. As long as you don't approach this as a "get rich quick scheme", you'll do okay.
