Artifacts sit in the small parts

Whole-image inspection rewards the overall composition, which is the part a generator is best at. The failures cluster where the model had the least training signal and the fewest constraints: fingers against a dark background, an earring that becomes an earlobe, lettering on a shop sign that reads as language until you look at a letter.

Draw a box around the suspect region and pick a magnification. The crop is drawn from the source pixels with smoothing off, so what you see is the actual artifact rather than an interpolated guess at it.

Three places worth boxing first

Hands and how they meet objects: count the fingers, then check whether the thumb has a joint and where. Faces at the edge of the frame: symmetry holds up close to the centre and degrades toward the edges. Background text and signage: warped glyphs are the most reliable tell in an otherwise convincing image.

The checklist beside the crop records pass or flag for each, so the review ends with a decision rather than a set of screenshots nobody scored. Pixel dimensions of the region are shown so a fix note can point at the same area twice.

Questions about this tool

Is the image uploaded?
No. It is read from your disk into a blob URL and drawn to a canvas in this tab, so the file never leaves the browser.
Why does the magnified crop look blocky?
Smoothing is switched off deliberately. At 8x you are looking at the pixels the model produced, and a smoothed rescale would invent detail that is not in the file.
Can I save the crop?
Not from here. The box and its pixel dimensions are the record; if you need the image itself for a report, take a screenshot of the magnified panel.
