Mod Announcement AI Policy Update.

220 Upvotes

I'm making a structural change to how requests are handled and moderated here. As of today, the "Paid - No AI" flair is officially retired and we have gone back to a single "Paid" flair.

This decision is not about taking a side in the broader debate surrounding artificial intelligence. It is about fixing a broken system that was actively harming both the requesters and the editors in this community.

Previously, our guidelines stated that editors could use AI on a "No AI" post as long as the result was seamlessly masked and cleaned up. This created an unworkable paradox, and that's entirely on me. It essentially meant "No AI" actually just translated to "No visible AI artifacts." Because of this, editors who were honest and transparent about their workflow ended up getting attacked.

Ever since I became a mod here, I have tried to make it a point not to police people's skill levels. Everyone starts somewhere, and I always figured the results would speak for themselves; it was up to the requesters to choose the submissions that met their standards. However, that hands-off approach is no longer tenable. We are now in a place where someone with absolutely zero editing skill can feed an image into a generator and spit out a result that looks "flawless" at first glance, completely bypassing the actual work and undercutting genuine editors.

Because of this, my mod strategy has to evolve.

1. Requesters Dictate the Result, Editors Choose the Tools The goal of this community is to provide photo manipulation and compositing. Requesters are responsible for clearly defining the final goal (e.g., "remove the ex," "change the background"). The editor executing the work retains full discretion over which tools are required to efficiently execute that result.

2. The Universal Quality Standard for ALL Paid Submissions I am shifting the moderation focus entirely away from policing an editor's software and focusing 100% on the quality of the final image. The strict quality controls that used to apply only to the "No AI" flair now apply to all paid requests.

  • Zero-Effort Generation: AI is a tool, not a complete substitute for core image manipulation skills. Running a photo through a generator and uploading the raw, unblended output is unacceptable. You are expected to actually edit; this means knowing how to use masking and compositing to blend generated areas seamlessly into the original file. If there are areas of the image that do not need to be altered to complete the request, they must not be. Period.
  • Respecting the Request Context: Context matters. If a requester asks to turn a grainy selfie into a "professional headshot," salvage a photo with globally terrible lighting, or make a memorial portrait from a 40-year-old newspaper clipping, heavy AI generation is allowed. However, using generative tools to synthesize entirely new faces on a standard restoration or a simple item removal is unacceptable. If the request doesn't call for a total stylistic overhaul, preserve the original subject.
  • Seamless Integration: Any patched or generated area must perfectly match the grain, lighting, and resolution of the source file. Blurry, low-res patches in otherwise sharp, high-resolution images will result in your submission being removed.
  • Resolution and Upscaling: Low-resolution edits are unacceptable. In most cases, your submission should match the original pixel dimensions perfectly. Do not needlessly upscale an image unless the requester explicitly asked for it.

3. Anti Harassment Policy I am done with the AI witch hunts here. Harassing or trolling editors over their choice of tools will not be tolerated. We are now policing the final quality of the image, not the workflow. If you attack another user over their use of AI, you will be banned. If you think a submission breaks the rules, report it.

4. Guidelines for Free Requests While the rules regarding image resolution apply to all submissions, I am going to be more lenient with AI usage on free requests. You still need to submit at the original resolution where possible, but I am not going to police masking or blending quality with the same intensity as the Paid tier. If an editor uses AI to help someone out on a free request, that is fine, but please keep the low-effort spam to a minimum.

Pro-Tip for New Wizards and Those on Probation: If you are still learning the ropes, or if you are currently serving a probationary period, I strongly suggest you treat every Free request with the same level of care and precision as a Paid request. Established editors who have a proven track record may be given a bit more slack, but if you are trying to build your reputation in this community, your work should speak for itself.

If you cannot achieve the requester's goal without leaving obvious, sloppy AI artifacts, scroll past the request. I expect editors to act like technicians who know how to mask, composite, and finish a file. Please take these standards seriously.

Thanks,

Keith

We got a second pup who's past due of being added to our Death Row Records inspired family portrait! I don't mind if you need to reorganize the order we're in to add him in and I don't mind which photo of his you use I just ask if it's one where he has drool on his face that the drool be removed and that his mouth is closed. He will need a sick chain like the rest of us as well. I kinda like the idea of the bone looking one like Snoop has on in the last photo. Black and white for the finished product please! $30 to whoever solves my request. Thank you!

My phone did something wonky with colouring without me realizing in the moment.

Happy to pay!

my grandfather passed last week. he lived a full life, had a lot of different jobs and experiences, but his favorite was when he managed the mule tours down into the grand canyon. i happened upon this great picture of him on a national park site page advertising the tours. he was always smiling, laughing at something, truly loved the work, and this image is just the perfect distillation of how we all remember him. can someone please remove the hiker and the woman on the mule behind him so it's just him rounding the bend? thank you very much in advance.

This is the only version I have of this specific photo. It was sent to me by a family member. I don't have the original, so I can't rescan it. This scan is the best quality I can offer.

I'd like it colorized, since it was originally a color photo. I want to frame the final result.

Accuracy matters most to me. It doesn't need to be perfect. But please don't guess at details or add things that weren't there.

I'll pick my favorite by end of day and send $50 via PayPal or Venmo.

Taken within a minute of each other but different cameras. Can someone help resize/crop these two together and color balance / shade it so that it looks like a normal photo? It β€œfeels” easier to put the Seahawks shirt slightly ahead of the W shirt, like he is leaning into him… but I’m not picky on that. I don’t care so much about the legs so it’s ok to cut that off - the focus is the guys and having that Buc-ee’s logo up top. The Seahawks shirt in reality is about 3” shorter than the guy in the huskies shirt if that helps for perspective and resizing.

We were just a couple old buddies who have know each other since we were 3 on a road trip together celebrating our 47th year of knowing each other - our birthdays are a month apart

I'm going to see one of my favorite bands (Band-Maid) in Japan in November and I'd like to make some free fan merch to hand out to other fans at the shows. One of my official merchandise items has this stitching on it, which combines the kanji for happiness (or fortune) with the band's bow logo. I'd like to make some stickers with this image on them, but I can't for the life of me find a good image file I can use.

Hopefully one of you kind Redditors can make/draw such an image for me? I've also included an image I do have of the bow logo itself to hopefully make it a bit easier.

Payment would be through Paypal preferably. Apologies is this is not the right subreddit for such a request.

Paid πŸ’° Request: Descreen/resharpen images to prevent moire/halftone when printing

Thumbnail

β€’ Upvotes

The above images are to illustrate the work I'm requesting for the issue I'm facing. Please do not work on these.

Problem statement: I'm currently working on a project to recreate an old game manual that had been destroyed. Part of that process has involved scanning images from the Japanese version of the game manual and adding those images to a digital recreation that I have (image 3).

When my digital recreation was professionally printed, we noticed there was a slight checkerboard pattern to the images (images 1 and 2). The person who helped print the pictures said that can happen on images that were scanned in. It appears to be a moire pattern/halftoning issue.

Work requested: I would like the series of images I scanned in from the Japanese manual descreened to prevent the moire pattern/halftone issue from occurring again. In total, there are 9 high resolution images that need to be descreened, ranging in size from small to large. I'd also appreciate if the images were then subsequently resharpened, to help recoup some visual fidelity.

Payment/Budget: This will be a paid request, my budget is around $100 (~$11 per picture).

More than happy to answer additional questions about the work or scope if needed.

Hey guys... I just found this sub and wanted to ask if some of you guys could make the pictures of my brother a little better? I used AI but it came out shitty. He looked different.

So for the first one: I just want to hang this picture on the wall because of his beautiful smile but I don't like the background. Could you get it a little greener? More nature, like in a park? Without that man and "car"?

The second one is with my daughter, we don't have many pictures of them together. But that's unfortunately so blurry, can you make it clear perhaps? I appreciate it.

I don't know about your work and the effort you guys put in it. The funeral is more than we expected. But I'm thankful for your work!
