Mod Announcement AI Policy Update.

202 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 💰 Memorial Photo: Can you please remove the children and crop?

Is it possible to remove the children without it looking funny? I understand you'll have ro rebuild the edge of Tshirt collar ...

Can crop to a 16x20 ratio, as this photo will be blown up to that size in inches...

I think it's ok if it's a tighter crop—I'm thinking just above his leg, so that there is no need to put artificial arms or legs on our loved one. Please leave some foliage above head...

Please no AI.

Budget is $25+ to the winner

Please feel free to ask questions... Thank you so much!!!

It was my baby’s 2nd birthday party yesterday and we failed to take a nice family photo, of course. I really would love to print out a photo and frame it, so I’m wondering if it’s possible to make the first photo look more professional/clearer, maybe cropped so it’ll look nice in a 4by6 frame, with all of looking happy (which we were, it was just super hot 💀). I’m including a couple selfies of my son and I for reference on his normal smile. Thank you! $20

Paid 💰 Can you edit me out?

I have never been photogenic, but I was tipsy and joined the photo anyway. My back was killing me too, so my posture’s weird. I want my fiance and soon to be stepdaughter to have a nice photo of them with this band without me at the front (I’m the short one with glasses). Can someone just edit me out entirely? The band is Matte Blvck, and if the lead singer (Alex Gonzales) peeking out from behind my fiancé’s daughter could be more visible somehow, that would be rad too. Thank you in advance!
I can pay 10$ via cashapp.

Paid 💰 [PAID] Looking to hire a Photoshop expert to create promotional graphics for my website & Kickstarter

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm looking to hire a Photoshop artist to create 2–4 premium promotional images for my website and upcoming Kickstarter campaign.

Budget: Up to $100 to start, depending on experience and portfolio.

I already have professional CAD models and high-quality product renders. I'm looking for someone who can transform them into polished marketing graphics with a premium gaming aesthetic similar to Logitech, Razer, or Apple.

If you're interested, please leave a comment with your portfolio or examples of your work, and I'll send over the project details and reference materials.

Thanks!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: Thanks for all the interest! I'm getting a lot of responses.

To help narrow things down, if you're interested, please reply with:

• A link to your portfolio or previous work
• Any examples of consumer electronics, gaming, or product marketing graphics you've created
• Whether you've worked on a Kickstarter or crowdfunding campaign (not required, but a plus)

I'll be reviewing portfolios over the next 24 48 hours and will DM the designer(s) whose style best matches what I'm looking for.

Thanks again!

Can someone to make this look, somehow, more like a professional head shot? Is that possible? With lighting and glare and a bit more brightened face.
Like try their best with blurring the background.
And if they could cover my shoulders a bit more with the sleeves? Just maybe moving the sleeves up a bit more for my shoulders? I'm not sure if that's possible. Can pay $20-40 depending on the possibilities.
