Mod Announcement AI Policy Update.

219 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 💰 Can someone fix the composition of this picture from my Grandma's memorial dinner? Will pay 25 dollars

Post image
3 Upvotes

My grandmother was the matriarch of our family and passed away recently at 95 years old. The only full group picture we took was at the dinner after the ash spreading, and while all the people look great for the most part we clearly did not spread out properly and the poor waitress who took the picture was standing on a chair leaning back over a table to fit us all in the shot.

I am hoping someone might be able to move some people around to center this picture more? If this is way too much work for 25 bucks I apologize and I can offer more (not sure what is allowed).

What I'm hoping is...

  • The red headed boy in glasses (front row third from right) can be moved to the chair on the left so he is next to his sister
  • The girl+boy in the front right can be shifted over a chair so all the people are a bit more centered.
  • If anything further can be done to center us all and then make it so the picture not crooked we would be so grateful.
  • Additional bonus if you can make it so the girl second from right doesn't have her eyes closed.

I am hoping to print out physical copies of this for the family members.

Thank you so much

Paid 💰 Backstage Photo with Monty Python’s Eric Idlr

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m hoping someone can help restore this old photo from 2012.
This was taken backstage at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles after a performance of Spamalot. I was playing Sir Robin in the Broadway touring production, and Eric Idle had come to see the show. This is a really meaningful photo to me, and unfortunately it’s the only one I have from that night.
The original image is unfortunately very low-resolution, blurry, and heavily blue from the backstage lighting. I’d love to see if someone can clean it up, improve the sharpness/detail as much as possible, correct the color cast, and generally make it look like a good, natural photograph while preserving the faces and details as faithfully as possible.
I’m not looking to make us look artificially airbrushed or AI-generated, just hoping someone can work some Photoshop magic and rescue the photograph that’s there. I’d be incredibly grateful for anyone willing to give it a shot. This is one of those photos that means a lot!

Can anyone take this shot and create a sharp pattern from it?

I was not present when this picture was taken, but apparently this is either wallpaper or some other pattern from my wife’s grandmother’s house. My wife has very strong associations with the pattern and the house was sold upon grandma’s passing years ago. I would like to have this pattern put on some shower curtains or something along those lines for her upcoming birthday. Would any of you be able to create a sharp and printable pattern that I could provide as a reference?
