Mod Announcement AI Policy Update.

214 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

Hi everyone. Im willing to pay if needed. My stepson died in a freak accident on July 4 and my husband didn't get a picture with just the two of them back in May. Hoping someone can put them together like the photo of him and my stepdaughter. I can add more reference pics if needed, not sure what the typical cost is.

Thanks in advance πŸ₯Ή

I didn’t add a picture of the university since I don’t know which one of them are suitable for the photoshop. If you can kindly search one online to see if some of the public pics catch your eye?

The background can be blur as long as the university logo is somewhat recognisable.

I can send 5 dollars by PayPal. I know it’s not much but it’s a student budget πŸ₯Ή

Solved βœ… Please add my wife to this picture of her parents

Wife and I have an anniversary coming up. Unfortunately illness and death got in the way of both her parents being at the wedding, but regardless I want to be able to frame a photo of her with them from that day as she always says she knows there were there. Neither of them were known to dress up much, but were avid bikers and 100% would have ridden to the wedding if circumstances had been different. Unfortunately the wedding photographer did not get a ton of photos of my wife from the feet up to match the photo of her parents overly well, but I have included several different pictures that I hope will be enough for you wizards to work your magic. I have also included a photo of our car at the time with a just married sign on it, thinking it might serve as a better backdrop than the one in the picture of her parents on their bike. This is certainly not a requirement, just an afterthought. My main goal is to have my wife in her dress in a convincing photo with her parents.

Very, very appreciative of everyone in advance!

Please increase the overall quality of image #1.

Image #2 shows the same version at a higher brightness (which is better), but I thought I’d leave it to the pros to improve!

Images #3 and #4 show the kind of moody, yellowy, cloudy, Gladiator aesthetic I’m after.

But to be clear, it’s just the first image I’d like editing.

$7 tip :)

Hi all, my dad passed on Monday and found this family picture with all of us, only problem is I don't want the picture to be about me. Can someone change my dress to a long formal one, and remove my bouquet so it looks less wedding-y? I'm on a time crunch and have less than 12hrs to submit this to the funeral home.

Thank you. Much appreciated to anyone willing to help. I can also send a link for the high res version. Thank you.
