There is nothing wrong with aesthetic interest. But the best images, the images most likely to be accepted, will have commercial appeal as well. And that means technical accuracy, especially if you're interested in photorealistic AI. Even the original author of this thread appears to understand this and has agreed that those technical issues are real. ... View more

Delete the ones most recently submitted would be your best bet. The moderators can miss duplicates. I've found at least one instance where I mistakenly uploaded an image twice and both were accepted. I deleted on as soon as I noticed. ... View more

When I first started out with Adobe Stock a few months ago, I uploaded some robotic-type women (oh, the good ol' days of AI) and they ended up in the pending section requireing a property release. The notice stated that I did not need to re-submit the images but that I just needed to add the release to the pending files. So if we're talking the same thing here, I believe such images in question would be thrown into the pending section and not require re-uploading. ... View more

To be honest, I think landscapes or seascapes or anything along those lines are probably the most difficult to work with when it comes to AI. Especially when you introduce a primary subject (such as your boats) to be used in the foreground of such images. Regardless of subjet matter, however, you will normally have to resign yourself to editing AI images. And by normally I mean...always. Note, for example, that @Abambo's critiques all pertain to the boats themselves. If you were to use content aware fill and cloning tools to remove them, rather than spend hours editing them, would these images fare better if the seascapes themselves were the main subject? Possibly, I don't know. But you would be providing a potential buyer the option of inserting their own subject matter if they so desired or just use them as seascapes alone. Anyway, again...you've chosen one of the most difficult subjects to master when it comes to AI. Trying honing your skills using other subjects for awhile (wallpapers, graphic assets, food, animals, etc.) that should provide you with results that are at least easier to edit until you feel comfortable editing more difficult subjects. ...

Not without seeing the image in question. 🙂 Can you upload it full size? ... View more

At first, the skulls come across as having the potential for use as a seamless tiled image, which I think would be accepted. And yet it's not, as I can see that things wouldn't line up properly. So that could limit its potential usage for commercial purposes. But just my opnion.  ... View more

Some suggestions. I would certainly encourage you to continue with photorealistic images of people using AI, (especially if they are in professional environments, since those are likely to sell better) but here are some additional issues to take into consideration: Ears. If a large portion of both ears are visible, are they identical in size and shape and the intricacies involved with unique shapes inside of the outer ear itself? I often have to select and copy one ear, flip it horizontally, position it as needed, then lighten or darken it if the duplicated ear is in light or shadow. Eyes: Are the irisis and pupils perfectly round? Usually they are not and require some Liquifying. And take care that the pupils are centered within the irises themselves. Like the ears, duplicate the best one and replace the deformed one. Catchlights. More often than not, catchlights are identical in both eyes. If not, consider removing them and then downloading some free catchlight brushes. Are there any catchlights at all? If not, same suggestion, or just add some white dots on a new layer and adjust the brightness as necessary. Collarbones. AI often has a habit of creating huge protruding collarbones or sharp lines in the neck. Softening them up with Gausian Blur and playing with the shadows can often help correct this issue. ...

I agree with the saturation issue, but correcting that probably won't help in my opinion. The lighthouse seems almost an afterthougt in terms of subject matter with its attempt to compete with the large mountain of soil in the foreground. ... View more

Here is an example of AI getting hands right. Almost. I still had to clone fingernails and reshape fingers with the Liquify tool to get them looking anatomically correct. Fact is, I sometimes jokingly suggest that if one is interested in creating photorealistic people using AI, one should take some classes in anatomy to help correct AI's shortcomings. ... View more

If I found someone using my images (which at times I have), I either ignore it or send a request to remove it or at least give proper credit if I can find a way to contact that person. Those are personal use cases, however. If I found someone using one of my images commercially, I would first send a cease and desist request. If not removed, it might be time to contact a lawyer. ...

Same reason. Still the hands. In this example, besides still looking like fingers are missing, the look as if molded from clay (the right thumb, for example). ... View more
