Lightroom Virtual Summit 2024

I am happy to announce that I will be presenting three classes as part of the Lightroom Virtual Summit 2024, which is a free online event that will be held May 20th through the 24th.

I’ll be presenting on “Lightroom Classic and the Cloud”, “Managing Folders and Collections”, and “Advanced Color Adjustments”, all focused on Lightroom Classic. My classes are just three out of a total of 45 classes from a variety of instructors.

Best of all, you can attend all of the online classes for free from virtually anywhere with an internet connection.

In addition to the free registration there is also a VIP Pass option, which provides you with lifetime access to recordings of all presentations, and a variety of special VIP bonus content and benefits.

You can register for free and learn about the special VIP Pass, by following this link:

Webinar Recording: “Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, or Bridge?!”

Are you confused by having three applications from Adobe aimed at helping serious photographers manage their photos? I can help!

In my latest live online presentation as part of the “GreyLearning Live!” webinar series, I provided insights into the similarities and differences between Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Lightroom Classic, and Adobe Bridge.

These three applications from Adobe all provide a workflow solution for organizing and optimizing your photos. This presentation will help you choose which is right for you, and how each impacts your workflow.

A recording of the full presentation is available on my “Tim Grey TV” channel on YouTube here:
