AI Output & Generative Cleanup

The 85% Trap (The True Cost of the 15%–20% AI Defect Wall)

Automated masking and generative scene tools process simple packshots in seconds, but break down on the hardest 15%–20% of retail optical complexity: chewed-off white-on-white footwear outsoles, deleted contact shadows, sheer mesh, micro-prongs, jagged low-contrast halos, and hallucinated logos or stitching.

Forcing in-house Senior Retouchers or Art Directors to spend 6 to 10 minutes per file fixing AI mistakes across a seasonal drop burns hundreds of hours of senior studio capacity just doing janitorial cleanup.

Full-Batch Triage & Source-Plate Recovery (Audit + Exception Repair)

You don’t need another SaaS subscription that promises 100% accuracy and delivers 85%, and you don’t need to waste afternoon hours pre-sorting which AI files passed and which failed—nor do you pay full manual retouching rates twice on clean AI assets.

Drop your AI batch alongside your uncropped Capture One source plates (baked 8-bit/16-bit Capture One TIFFs/JPGs with your on-set ICC color grade intact, or camera RAWs with sidecars) at 5:00 PM under our Batch QC Audit + Exception Repair model:

1. Tier A — Full-Batch 400% QC Audit: Our overnight QA floor audits every asset in the batch at 400% zoom and passes clean AI outputs without double-charging you for manual retouching.
2. Tier B — Exception-Only Source-Plate Recovery: For the 15%–20% of assets that fail inspection, our specialists use 300 PPI hand-drawn Pen Tool (Path 1, 0.5px–1.0px inset) curves to restore missing geometry from the color-graded source plate, reconstruct natural grounding shadows on separate layers, neutralize perimeter color spill, and graft real studio product plates over distorted generative AI details.

Human Precision Across Automated & Generative Workflows

Our dedicated human-in-the-loop specialists repair what algorithms ruin:

• Pixel-Level Edge & Halo Repair: We zoom in to 400% and use 300 PPI hand-drawn Pen Tool Bezier paths (Path 1 with calibrated 0.5px–1.0px inward inset) to rebuild chewed-off corners, low-contrast borders, and harsh white/dark pixel halos left behind by automated thresholding.
• Shadow & Reflection Reconstruction: When AI aggressively deletes natural grounding contact shadows or floor reflections, we manually reconstruct them on independent layers (Shadow_Contact, Shadow_Ambient) so the product sits with real physical weight.
• Generative AI Realism & Real-Product Grafting: When generative AI warps brand typography, alters fabric weave, or distorts model hands and hardware, our compositors graft your 100% real, color-accurate studio product plate cleanly into the scene so your imagery never misleads customers or triggers e-commerce returns.

The Technical Deliverable (Specs)

We tailor your 9:00 AM delivery so zero in-house cleanup is required:

• Color & Metadata Fidelity: Zero color shifts. Original ICC profiles (sRGB IEC61966-2.1, Adobe RGB (1998), ProPhoto RGB) and EXIF/XMP/IPTC SKU barcode metadata remain 100% intact for Creative Force, ShotFlow, and Capture One DAM ingestion.
• Non-Destructive Layering, .atn Action Compatibility & Launch Readiness: Delivered as unflattened PSDs/TIFFs with isolated human refinement and shadow layers (Product_Base, Shadow_Contact, Shadow_Ambient) locked to your exact Photoshop .atn Action / Creative Force HUE naming schema above the base plate, plus ready-to-publish web derivatives (JPG, PNG, WebP) aligned to your storefront grid.
• Permanently Saved Vector Paths: 300 PPI closed Bezier paths are permanently saved and named (Path 1 with calibrated 0.5px–1.0px inward inset—never left as an unsaved temporary Work Path).
