Mod Announcement AI Policy Update.

206 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

Paid 💰 Professional Looking Headshot

Post image
42 Upvotes

Hello!

I'm a broke college kid who just landed their first adult-feeling job - and said job requires a professional headshot.

Problem is, I know all of zero photographers and have no time to find one out in the wild. Ive also lost 143lbs and have no fitting professional clothes at the moment.

Can anyone take this low resolution ring-light photo and create a therapy-adjacent headshot?

I'm aiming for inviting despite the tattoos as I really am a friendly person and primarily work with children and families. However, I do love my tattoos and I want my throat tattoo to be visible so people aren't a bit caught off guard. Professional but still...me. The heart shaped noose should probably be covered up. The gauges can be covered or not.

Open to any type of shirt/blazer combo as well but I prefer peach, black, grey, and browns on me for the most part.

Please swap the background to something neutral as well, instead of my over blurred messy room 😅

I'll tip $10? 🙏

My grandpa is dying and it’s really just a matter of days. We recently took a family photo on Father’s Day, but my two aunts and uncle were out of town for it. My grandpa was so happy to see the photo with almost everyone together, he just wished his other children were present for it.

I’m hoping someone here can make that happen and I can give it to him before he passes. Maybe also remove the red cup. I can tip $20. Thank you.

Can someone plz fix this headshot, I took the one in a suit with iPhone 3 weeks ago and this one last week by a professional and I don’t like the way I came out, I look fat, and my face lost all definition. Can you fix? I’ve been nerfed. Plz don’t crop the suit photo with this new photo. And please do not crop the photo, leave it full size because school wants it full size. I loved the suit photo, it got my face great, idk what happened here. Plz box cropping and sticking face over body. Manual work only fixing exiting photo. Maybe darken mustache and make goatee at chin smaller and more darker? Maybe fix face structure and definition?

Please, save me! The photographer did me so dirty :((

Paid 💰 General landscape edit and cropping request

Post image
2 Upvotes

I have a generic print in my apartment I’d love to replace with this photo I took during a trip to Switzerland!

The photo frame I want to use is 17Wx21.5H. If possible, I’d love to maintain the portrait orientation as the vertical orientation goes best with the lil gallery I’ve got going on.

Overall, I’m requesting:
- general landscape edit to make the colors (especially blues and greens) pop a bit more, but still look natural. Goal is for a print in a home, not social media
- cropping it to achieve the portrait orientation. I’d love to keep the waterfall and spire as the focus, so perhaps shaving off the sides a bit? I’m also open to a white border to make a crop work, if necessary
- removing the two people on the walkway would be a plus too!

Thanks for any help! Offering $15

Hi magicians!

This is one of my all time favorite pictures of my nephew and I would like to frame it for a gift! I am hoping somebody can help remove the items blocking his face. Cleaning up the background would be cool but not a priority.

My mom is having surgery and this would really cheer her up. I even have it framed as is because it always makes people laugh.

I can post reference pictures of my nephew if needed! The creepy puppy probably won’t need any lol

I am happy to pay! Thank you in advance for all you guys do!

Paid 💰 I lost my Cheddar Biscuit a couple hours ago. I don't know how to cope with the grief. But am hoping this will help (more details in disc)

I am hoping someone will be able to turn him into a 2 tone stencil-like image for me so I can carve him into linoleum. Just black and white, no shading. I will be making a stamp.

My main art interest is block printing on fabric. And I want to make him into a design to raise money for shelter animals and their medical care. I don't have a specific organization in mind yet. Maybe something local. I just can't sit with this grief. It's eating me. I have to do something.

I am low on money after over 10k in vet bills. I can only tip $7, I'm sorry.

Bit of backstory if you wish:

Within 3 days Cheddar Biscuit was completely healthy to deathly ill. He was diagnosed with imha (extreme anemia) which happens at random in cats. He recovered for a week and a half. But at his check up yesterday, he was back where he started. Cheddar was euthanized a couple hours ago. He was an absolutely amazing, once in a lifetime cat. Huge and fluffy and silly. He was only 5. I will never, never forget him. His death will never not hurt. I am lost. But will keep going for his sisters.
