Online Workshops on Lightroom Classic

During the month of April I’ll be teaching two online workshops focused on Adobe Lightroom Classic.

These workshops will feature an online “virtual classroom”, with live sessions during which you can get your questions answered. One online workshop will focus on organizing photos in Lightroom Classic, and the other will focus on optimizing photos in Lightroom Classic.

Each of the online workshops will include four sessions of about two hours each, for a total of about sixteen hours of live learning to help you make the most of Adobe Lightroom Classic.

You can save by registering for both workshops, or choose to register for just one of the two. You can follow the link below to get information about the bundle of two workshops, but you’ll also find links to the individual online workshops at the bottom of the page if you only want to focus on one of the two subjects. To learn more you can follow this link:

18 Years of “Ask Tim Grey”!

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:

And thank you for being an Ask Tim Grey reader!

Red Color Labels for All!

When I import new photos into my Lightroom Classic catalog, I assign a red color label to every single image. This key step in my workflow takes no effort at all, because I use a metadata preset to add the color label to all photos being imported. But this simple step greatly improves the effectiveness of my workflow for managing photos.

The reason for assigning a red color label to every photo I import into my Lightroom Classic catalog is very simple. I use that red color label to identify images I have not yet reviewed yet.

Every photo I import needs to be reviewed, so they all get a red color label. Once I have reviewed a batch of photos, I remove the red color label, leaving behind star ratings to define my favorite photos.

With this workflow, I always know which photos I haven’t yet had a chance to review. This happens quite often when I’m traveling, with long days and lots of photography, so the red color labels help make sure I don’t miss out on reviewing photos from one of my trips.

You can learn more about the workflow I use to manage my photos in Adobe Lightroom Classic, including the use of red color labels as a key part of my workflow, in my “Real-World Organizational Workflow” course that you can find on the GreyLearning website here:

New York City Photo Workshop in 2020

New York City has been my home for almost nine years now, and during that time I’ve gotten to know the city quite well. I’ve found that each neighborhood offers something a little different, and around every corner there are photographic possibilities.

If you would enjoy photographing the iconic scenes and hidden corners of New York City, then I invite you to join me for an all-inclusive five-day photo workshop experience in the “City that Never Sleeps”. We’ll photograph impressive skylines, interesting architecture, fascinating street scenes, and unique people.

For all of the details of my New York City Photo Experience Workshop in 2020, please visit my website here:
