The Editors' R.O.T.s
Editors' R.O.T.
What the heck is an R.O.T.? It's short for "Rule of Thumb" and it refers to a series of unwritten rules that used to be passed down from a master craftsman (in any trade) to his or her apprentice. The apprentice then becomes the master and then the cycle repeats.
Unfortunately, this doesn't happen any more as we now have a little thing called "the internet." The internet is where tips are handed out randomly and sporadically like small packages of candy. Many of these vital tips are simply glossed over or never surfaced to be important enough to the fledgling editor.
This is rather a shame that this ancient practice has largely ended, but we here in the Adobe Community intend to remedy that with a series of tips in that same spirit.
We feel that the beginner (and even an experienced editor) can glean some small nuggets of wisdom to make their lives a little easier. I know some of the advice here may seem "preachy" or even condescending but that is not the intent. The real reason to talk about and learn about such things is that these will help us all grow and learn as a community.
We call it the Editor's R.O.T.
Welcome.
