Open Missions
Missions is a beta feature open to a select group of contributors.
Our goal is to source specific assets for AI/ML training.
We'll pay you for our usage limited to AI/ML training purposes.
These assets won't be made available on Adobe Stock, but you can decide to also submit them to stock services. We will review your submissions for the Missions within 15 business days.
If approved, you will receive payment in the Contributor Portal, which will be added to your overall balance.

Missions are separate from our commitment to compensate contributors for using their images in the training of the first commercial model of Firefly, which will be announced soon.

Contact us here if you have questions during the Beta.

MISSION: ROOMS AND WINDOWS WITH CITY VIEWS $70
Submit series of pictures showing interiors with city views.
Images for this mission do not require model releases, metadata or post-processing.
Volume: 500 to 1000 assets per submission.

Interesting. I do not have this mission, but two different ones with people instead.

How much money are they offering you? Will you participate?

$80
No, I will not participate.
Studio setting (the greenscreen mission says no shadows/no folds in background, so that requires proper lighting and backdrop studio equipment or editing)  + shooting people + model release is a way too high demand for just $80, or even $40 if you don't do self-portraits and have a second person involved. Just not worth the effort for me.

Adobe probably thinks that a model's work costs $10.

I can no longer see the missions page. Isn it because I did not take part immediately?

In my commissioned work, I charge €600-1000 for 10-15 images ...

Adobe pays $80 for 500-1000 images.

New forms of slavery are growing ... :-X

I think if you do not have an actual mission in review AND you are not selected to take part in an actual mission, the "mission tab" might be not visible - but I am just guessing.

Well, we will see if the page turns up again. If I have at least 30 days and the theme fits into what I am doing anyway, I wouldn't mind participating.

Recently got this 'mission'. 12 clips for $18, or 1.xx per clip? Maybe fine if you live in a third world country.

Capture 12 video clips (5–30 seconds each) of cordless power tools in real-life use to help train and improve AI/ML models. You may only submit clips of the approved cordless power tool types as listed in the brief. Any clips showing other or unrelated devices will be rejected as "not relevant to the brief."
Assets for this Mission do not require releases, metadata or post-processing.
Volume: Upload 12 to 12 assets per submission. Up to 10 submissions | Used: 0

$18.00

Absolutely! It makes perfect sense and leads to a clear win-win situation.

You get $60 to $80 for a piddly 500 to 1000 photos. That's a whopping $0.06 to 0.16 per photo. All you need is
- a good camera
- a tripod
- a powerful internet connection
- backup hardware
- possibly a car, the rent for a studio with appropriate lighting, models, the material to be photographed, etc.
- a few hours of time to read the briefing, take the photos, and upload the data.

And just like that, you're earning huge sums of money. And Adobe probably only earns a hundred or a thousand times that amount.

As I said: an absolute win-win situation.

If you don't jump at such an attractive offer, you only have yourself to blame!
