Inspect the places most likely to mislead
Choose a few critical regions before looking at the enhanced version: lettering, faces, thin edges, repeated patterns and fine texture. This reduces the temptation to judge only the most flattering area. Compare each region with the original at a useful scale. Look for changed shapes, repeated invented motifs, halos, waxy surfaces or new lines that were not supported by the source. Record the specific deviation rather than writing only that the image looks artificial.
Separate technical and semantic defects
A faint halo may be an aesthetic problem; a changed word or product feature can misrepresent the subject. Treat those differently. A file can pass dimension and format checks while failing its meaning. Do not use a model’s confident output to read information that was unreadable before. Where a detail matters, prefer an authorized original, manual reconstruction from a reliable reference, or a smaller presentation that does not imply recovered certainty.
Use a small review ledger
For a fictional product poster, record three rows: label text unchanged, silhouette unchanged, background texture acceptable. Mark each pass, fail or unresolved and name the reviewed file version. If the label fails, the whole commercial image may be unsuitable even if the background looks excellent. If the background is merely different but allowed by the brief, that may be acceptable. The ledger is a decision aid, not an automated quality score or a merchant certification.
Review the exported file too
Download and inspect the actual file you intend to hand off. Confirm dimensions, crop and appearance after export. Then use a suitable physical proof for the print decision. A browser preview can hide compression, scaling or color differences. Keep failed versions separate from the approved file so they are not accidentally sent. If a result needs repeated repair, reconsider the source or format rather than treating additional processing as inevitable progress.
