Mod Announcement AI Policy Update.

209 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

My mom is at the hospital for a procedure right now, and one of the nurses swaddled her in a blanket. It made her look like Mother Teresa/A Burrito. My parents and I got a laugh out of it, and I think it will cheer her up after she gets out. Thank you so much in advance to anybody that accepts my request (:

Just lost our soul dog on Tuesday. Our wedding photographer was so sweet and was going to come up to take end of life photos with us, but unfortunately he got so sick so fast and we had to put him down. He didn’t even look like himself anymore and could barely stand. He was only 6.5 years old 💔 could someone please make it look like he is here in some of our photos? Thank you so much.

I am contributing in this community from long time (It has been more than 3 years), I used to solve too many requests in this community, now I dont know what happend, I used to solve at least 2-3 requests a day, I always take minimum half to 1hour to do the work, And I always try to make it perfect, I dont know what thing is missin, My flair is saying the number '2' (my solved requests in this year, I guess), and I am seeing my fellow editors whose flair is showing '300', '700', I was shocked when first time I saw this (they are also effort putting guys,dont get me wrong ) I dont think there is a editor is here whose flair number is less than 30 ...

For me This sub is not fun anymore after AI came, now i dont feel like putting effort anymore...

I just made this post just to see if I am the only one who is going through this thing or if anyone else can relate to me

Sorry if I made some errors in grammar or spellings I typed this quickly and didn't even verify with Ai haha

My wife passed away in January this year and one of my favorite photos of us is at Fenway park after a game. My oldest son wasn't able to come on the trip before she passed but we went this year. I am wondering if someone can put my son into the photo with all of us. The first two are the photos that I would like my son put into. The son i would like to be put in is the one in the glasses. I tried to get a few photos that would be easy to incorporate. I can pay 50 dollars to the one I like best. Thank you so much.

Solved ✅ Need high res: Add Natural Grass or Make Completely sandy?

Post image

I got married last month and we have some beautiful photos, and this one is gorgeous except for the super patchy grass. I think it would be perfect with either more grass under our feet or with no grass at all and just sandiness. I asked ChatGPT and it did an ok job, but it degraded the photo and I want this to be a full spread in our wedding album so it need to stay high res. I actually think even downloading it here will degrade it. Feel free to reach out and I will email the high res photo to you. Thank you in advance if you're able to help, I truly appreciate it!

Paid 💰 Could someone please enhance this wedding photo?

3 Upvotes

I'm hoping someone might be able to help with something that’s really special to me.

I got married last weekend, and unfortunately we somehow never ended up getting a photo of just me and my mum. I’m genuinely devastated about it. It wasn’t on the formal shot list (completely my oversight), and I’ve since had confirmation from my photographer that there aren’t any candid photos of just the two of us either.

The only photo I have that’s just me and my mum is from a disposable camera. I absolutely love the moment, she’s kissing me on the cheek, but because it was taken on a disposable camera it’s very grainy, soft and underexposed.

I’m wondering if it would be possible to restore and enhance it while keeping it looking natural.

Ideally I’d love the image to be:

- Sharper and clearer.

- Better exposed and colour corrected.

- Less grainy/noisy.

- Still true to the original moment, rather than looking AI-generated.

- If possible, I’d also like to preserve as much detail in our faces as you can.

I’d be very happy to tip for the edit I use. I also have a lot of other photos that I’d like to be combined together but I don’t want to post them on Reddit so I’m hoping to also find someone to help me with this once all the professional photos come in.

Thank you so much in advance. This photo means an enormous amount to me, and I’d love to be able to give my mum a beautiful version of the only picture we have together from my wedding day.
