I am excited to announce that I will be teaching a comprehensive live online workshop during the first two weeks of January, focused on helping photographers make the most of Lightroom Classic for optimizing their photos to perfection. This will include detailed coverage of the completely new approach to applying targeted adjustments in Lightroom Classic 11.

During our Black Friday promotion you can register for this live online workshop for just $79! After the promotion the price will return to $149.

The live online workshop features:

• • Six online “virtual classroom” sessions with live demonstrations and practical examples (each session is about two hours in duration).
  • Access to recordings of all workshop sessions, including the option to download the recordings to your computer or mobile device.
  • Opportunity to get your questions answered during the live online sessions.
  • Option to submit follow-up questions via email.
  • Limited class size to ensure personal attention.
  • And more!

The six online sessions will be held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from 12:00pm to about 2:00pm Eastern Time. The first session will be on Monday, January 3, 2022, and the final session will be on Friday, January 14, 2022. If you’re not able to attend any of the live online sessions you can review the recordings for any missed sessions and ask questions during the following sessions or via email.

If you would like to gain confidence in your ability to optimize your photographs to perfection and realize your vision for each image, you won’t want to miss this online workshop experience!

I’ll hope to see you in my “virtual classroom” in January!

I am absolutely thrilled to announce that today marks twenty years since I published the very first edition of the Ask Tim Grey eNewsletter.

To commemorate this major milestone, I have written an eBook called Behind the Answers that looks back at some of the anecdotes from over the years.

You can buy the eBook if you’d like to show your gratitude for the Ask Tim Grey eNewsletter, or you can get the eBook at a discount or for free if you prefer. Either way, thank you for being a reader!

Today marks 18 years since I sent out the first Ask Tim Grey eNewsletter, though it went by the name “Digital Darkroom Questions” way back then.

Since that first email, I’ve been answering questions from photographers for 18 years now, which works out to a total of 4,058 editions of the newsletter, including today’s anniversary edition.

To celebrate this milestone, we’ve added a significant bonus to my “Lightroom Cleanup One-on-One” bundle. If you order this bundle today, in addition to the great content and support that is already included, you’ll also receive a one-hour call directly with me. During that call you can share your screen so I can evaluate your workflow and help you restore order to your Lightroom Classic catalog.

You can get all the details by visiting the GreyLearning website here:

Today marks the 15-year anniversary of the Ask Tim Grey eNewsletter.

I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I sent out that first email newsletter. Little did I know I would still be answering questions from photographers through that email newsletter fifteen years later, and that writing those emails would become a major focus of my working life. The time has flown by very quickly, and we’ve seen so much change along the way!

Early questions in the email newsletter (which was called “Digital Darkroom Questions” way back then) related mostly to scanning slides, processing scanned slides in Photoshop, and understanding the potential of digital cameras and when they might replace film.

Today, many of the questions relate to image management, photography, and better understanding the technologies that influence our photography. We’ve transitioned from low-resolution (and heavy!) digital SLR cameras that seemed better at generating noise than creating photographs, to smartphones with greater resolution and higher image quality that fit in our pocket.

I’ve written over 3,000 editions of the Ask Tim Grey eNewsletter (3,029 as of now, to be exact). I don’t know how any photographers find the time to read the emails, much less how I manage to find the time to write them. But it is so wonderful to have photographers tell me they appreciate the effort.

On more than one occasion when I’ve missed a day or two of the email newsletter due to a hectic schedule, I’ve had photographers write to make sure I was OK, indicating they were worried at the absence of the emails. And a great many photographers have told me how much they enjoy reading the daily emails with their morning cup of coffee.

As a way of celebrating this milestone, I’ve teamed up with some partners to provide discounts on products and services I’ve become a fan of over the years. I am also providing a special offer on a GreyLearning subscription.

I am extremely grateful to all photographers who let me into their Inbox with the Ask Tim Grey eNewsletter. I appreciate the support I have received and the kind words I’ve heard from photographers for fifteen years and counting. Thank you so very much.

Here’s to another fifteen years!
