Book Cover, Image Enhancement from AI

I already have a high-resolution image I created through ChatGPT’s image generation tools, and now it needs a personal touch. The core composition works, but the piece lacks the polish and originality required for solid copyright protection.

Here’s what I need you to do:

make the people look like people and not AI

• Color enhancements – richer tones, truer blacks, and balanced highlights so the picture pops off the shelf while still printing accurately in CMYK.

• Fix elements in reference to scale/composition.

The final artwork must remain realistic in style and convey a strong natural theme. Please keep the overall mood consistent with the original concept, yet distinctive enough to be considered a fresh, copyrightable work.

Deliverables
• Print-ready cover image at 300 DPI, sized for 6" × 9" (front) plus spine and bleed.
• Layered PSD or TIFF so future title text and back-cover copy can be edited.
• Flattened JPEG/PNG for digital mock-ups.
• Brief change log describing the artistic additions and color grading decisions.

I’ll supply the original AI file and reference notes as soon as we start. Looking forward to seeing how you can elevate this piece into a unique, book-shop-ready cover.
