  "account": "A full day of batch output was lost due to a single grayscale pixel in 40 AI-generated line art pieces intended for Adobe Stock as vector-adjacent raster submissions. After going through a process to ensure clean line art, only three pieces survived the vector trace and Adobe review. Key factors in achieving this success were using Otsu's method for thresholding, binarising before resizing, and checking trace node counts. Incomplete or incorrect metadata led to the rejection of other pieces, highlighting the importance of proper file headers. This workflow, encapsulated in the Vector Prompt Pack, provides a practical playbook for achieving clean line art and avoiding common pitfalls in the submission process.",
  "summary": "I lost a full day of batch output to a single grayscale pixel. The batch was 40 AI-generated line art pieces, all headed for Adobe Stock as vector-adjacent raster submissions. The CSV was built, the tracker said nothing was pending, the files looked clean at 100% zoom. Adobe's review flagged a chunk of them for artifacts in the line work. When I opened one at 400% I saw it: faint gray…",
