Why this AI image was rejected?

Blurry and it appears to have artifacts around the dark and light areas.

 Thank you Ralph😊

Hi,

besides that what Ralph said.

Before you submit, please review the submission guidelines carefully and compare your work with other Stock inventory. To be accepted, your work should be as good or better than what's already represented in your keyword category.

You should always indicate the refusal reason given to you by Adobe. Post the picture here as indicated. Check your pictures before submitting at 100% and 200% for artefacts. 

This picture is exposing many compression artefacts around objects and typical colour banding of a too low quality factor when saving JPEG files. There are also strange ghost pictures that may or may not be considered defects.

Are you seriously?! Each picture created by Midjorney has similar artifacts. If so, then it was necessary to reject all AI pictures.

You need to correct the errors. It's not because “Each picture created by Midjorney has similar artifacts” that they should get accepted.

Yes, this exactly. I've had over 3,000 Midjourney-generated images (well, 2,000 from MJ and 1,000 from a locally-hosted version of Stable Diffusion) accepted, but I discard approximately 200-300+ for each ONE that is good enough to submit (and even then, only after being cleaned up). Artefacting means it's commercially useless, so why would anyone buy it, and if nobody would buy it, why would Adobe bother to sell it?

Something like this is so surreal and so obviously AI created that I can't imagine anyone would purchase it nor would any graphic designer be able to use it. This is not the kind of thing that Adobe sells much of, so I can't see why they would want to accept something with so little commercial possibility.

This also looks like it was made with one of MJ's earliest models, nothing like what 5.2 would produce. When you look at your MJ /settings, what do you see?

Okay, Thank you so much for the advise ABAMBO it's really helpful ...😊

Hello,

Basically, you need to scrutinise your image! Any possible abnormality needs to be rectified to ensure that Adobe won't reject it based on quality.

Due to the fact that AI images are becoming so prevalent, you have to be careful what you submit. The defects pointed out by @Abambo need to be considered, even though it may seem like splitting hairs!

You can't just generate an image and submit, because if you do, it will most probably be rejected.

[Keshani_S]

Okay, Thank you ... 😊

The head of the person is not attached to the body.

While Midjourney is often touted as the best AI platform presently available, it still has many shortcomings, among them being landscapes and wide angle surrealistic images in particular. While you should indeed inspect images at 200%, I go even further with images of the nature you posted here: 300% after upscaling. They might look great at their original size, but defects that are not apparent original are multiplied when upscaling. I prefer upscaling to a minimum of 20" on the long side at 300 dpi. If the defects that become apparent don't look fixable with a reasonable amount of editing, it's  consigned to the trash. Once you're in the habit of moderating your own images, rather than relying on someone else to moderate them for you, your acceptance rate will improve.

[Keshani_S]

Okay, Thank you so much 👍

Besides what others have said. there are many Artificats like the person not having hands, head not attached..etc and other blurrly or areas with artifacts.

you should examine your pictures closely and edit them properly in Photoshop (or any other photo manplating programs) because Although midjourney uses advanced Ai technology, it will make mistakes. i have never uploaded an image straight out from midjourney/ stable diffusion, i always edit ( content aware, removing few things, lighting & shadows..etc). but my advice here is to remember to balance the time needed to edit an Ai image or just discard it ( if it's not worth the editing time).

and as danielle mentioned, once you start getting into the habit of editing and selecting your images you will develop a very good eye for spotting mistakes and your acceptance rate will hugely improve

good luck.
