So here it is, our 1,000th blog post celebration!...

We have been teasing at something "big" happening all month long, and though we are celebrating our 1,000th blog post this surprise is something for you our readers (and podcast listeners).

It comes to us courtesy of the Riley brothers of Riley Photographic and RPG Keys fame.

So what is the surprise? For the first 25 people who register at this link, you will get a free 60 day trial of RPG Keys, free shipping, free presets... it will cost you nothing to give this serious productivity tool a 2 month test drive, at no cost and no obligation to you.

Third, how can you learn more about the RPG Keys? You can read my original review here, or even better, head over to SLR Lounge and read their in-depth review and analysis of how the RPG Keys significantly changed their workflow forever. It cut their image editing workflow in more than half.

Here's a little math for you: Average time per photo edit - without RPG Keys: 18.65 seconds per photo / with RPG Keys: 7.6 seconds per photo.

Fourth, how can you learn more about what they can do for you? You can head over to their YouTube channel and watch one of their over 100 videos on setting up and using the keys, and, you can watch the intro video below.

You can also head over to The Photography Podcast and listen to them being interviewed today (by me).

Just remember, it's for the first 25 who register at this link, so don't watch too many videos.
