Title: How is everyone handling AI submitted artwork?
Post by: Homer on May 08, 2026, 11:49:52 AM
What a mess this is turning into, we have been getting at least 3-4 designs a day of AI created "art" however they usually want adjustments, so they basically pay me to learn how to use ai better... good times ahead, I'd hate to be an artist trying to make a living these days... ::) at least it's better than a used napkin with nephew art on it....

We get them in and most aren't ready to print, either too small, or need some type of work and we often turn that into Hundreds of dollars of art. But we do have insanely good artists here.

I have started using ChatGPT to remove back grounds and make some changes, then in PS beta I use Generative Upscale to clean it up. OR I just send it out for a vector redraw. We are very upfront with our customers on what quality is acceptable, and what is not, and what the cost will be. Most have said things like "I just whipped it up with AI. I knew it might not be usable." Either way, art fees are added.

I use AI to cleanup AI. Canva has some very useful tools and vectorizer .ai after I've cleaned it up. If it's not sized right I tell them to do it again, they fix it or wander off, makes no difference to me.

My last year or so, I kept getting some good creative stuff made in Canva, but nine out of ten did not know about resolution or size needed for shirts.
Reminded me of the early years and everyone and their brother had a bootleg Photoshop 4, and used the default resolution of 72 on their already-too-small creations. We called them "Digital da Vincis"

I do the same, I upload their garbage art and tell it to recreate this in high resolution....then charge for it.
