Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals 2022

Happy Thanksgiving! This is the time of year that we traditionally gather with friends and family and share what we’re thankful for. I’m thankful for my readers, so thanks for being part of the journey!

This is also the time of year that your inbox overflows with Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers, so I wanted to put together some of the offers on products I personally recommend to hopefully make it a little easier for you to find deals that make sense in your photography workflow. I’ll update this list as I find additional offers on products I personally recommend.

Here are the deals I’ve found so far:

GoodSync: 35% Off with Code BFG35

This is the software I use and recommend for backing up photos and other data via synchronization, so it is incredibly easy to recover from a failed drive. During their Black Friday sale you can get 35% off a subscription to GoodSync, though this offer is not available for renewals. You can get all the details here:

Backblaze: 20% Off with Code BLAZEON22

I use Backblaze to provide an offsite backup for my photos and other important data, to supplement the backups I create with GoodSync. During their Black Friday sale you can get 20% off a Backblaze Personal Backup subscription. Get all the details here:

GreyLearning: Online Workshop for Just $59

Of course, I’m also offering a special for Black Friday, with an online workshop on “Cleaning Up Your Mess in Lightroom Classic”. Regularly $99, you can participate in this online workshop for just $59 as part of our Black Friday special. During the workshop you’ll be able to get answers to your questions about Lightroom Classic directly from me. Get all the details here:

Radiant Photo: Bundle Discount

Radiant Photo is a new tool for optimizing photos, and I’m currently in the process of taking a deep dive into everything this software is capable of. I’m very impressed so far, and will have updates and possibly a video training course on Radiant Photo in the near future. In the meantime, if you’re interested in checking out this new and powerful photo-editing software, you can get a special bundle for Black Friday. Get all the details here:
