I’m a contributor from Pakistan, and my account doesn’t show the Firefly AI training opt-in section. When will it be available for my region?

Contributors are apparently selected at random. While I am a retired photographer, I only submit AI, and I was a bit surprised to be eligible to submit Mission images this year. If you have seen the banner by now, you probably weren't selected.

Thank you for sharing your experience — that really helps!
I’m also an active contributor and very interested in participating in Firefly Missions, but I haven’t received any banner or selection notice yet.

Since you’ve already been part of these Missions, could you please share a bit more about how contributors are usually chosen or if there’s anything specific we can do to increase our chances of being selected (like content type, upload consistency, or portfolio size)?

I’d really appreciate any advice or insights you can offer.

While selected to participate, I won't be doing so. While I was a photographer for a good 30 years, all my submissions to Adobe Stock are AI, so I was surprised to have been selected. Yes, I could blow the dust off my Canon and ask a couple of friends to act as models, but after paying them for their help, the amount of effort needed to participate with relatively little payout in return is prohibitive.

There is no such opt-in setting. You may be selected by Adobe to participate in Missions, which are designed to solicit very specific images which Adobe uses to train Firefly. If you are selected, you will see a bannner on your Dashboard page which you can click to,learn the requirements.

Thank you so much Jill for clarifying this.
I really appreciate your time and detailed response.

I am very interested in contributing to Adobe Firefly or similar Missions in the future. Could you please guide me on what kind of content or themes are most likely to be considered for these Missions?

For example, should contributors focus more on commercial lifestyle concepts, abstract visuals, or AI-trainable image categories?

Any additional information or reference links about how Adobe selects contributors for Firefly Missions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you once again for your kind guidance and support.
