avail. Editors are People! They edit stuff! And they sure as hell don't
print in the darkroom or develop negs that?s the last place you'd find them
unless a light table is there! But these guys don?t care they just like
messing with the language coming up with buzz words, memes and as far as I
go.... Weasel Words! (which means words which really don't mean anything)
And I've agreed with your take on editors who chop the heads out of your pix
and have no concept of a balanced composition nor respect for yours! I think
the proper name for these guys are "paste up artists". Some of whom call
themselves editors or art directors.
As we get more experienced and people know who we are more they feel less
uninhibited as chopping block artists and butcher our images less.
To get back at them I'd print an 11x14 or even bigger full frame black
border and hang it up on my wall so some people know what these images
really look like. And or put them in my "book" which means portfolio and
show them to anyone who'd look.

Hi Mark,
As you well know back in the days when newspapers' had a "city editor
who quite often was also the "photo editor" whom upon editing the photos for
the latest edition. Used a large pair of scissors' and would say out
loud....."2 column!"
And in a flash he chopped "edited the print" to a composition size to
fit a 2 column page space.
Most "city editors I have worked with have been "blind in both eyes"
when it came to correct & true beautifying a picture page in beauty! Only to
chop the photo to fit a "column size" DESTROYING IN MOST CASES THE
"composition" BEAUTY of the photo completely!
cheers,
Dr. ted grant O.C.

I wonder what they use for the term "Editing" now as it doesn?t mean
"Editing" any more.
Part of this is that the thread name is "Editing" which for the whipper
snappers out there are fixated on video rhetoric "Editing" means
"processing". Although sometimes the word "post" or "post processing" works.
It all makes sense I guess if you pretend you are making a video thing
is we're not we are making photographs and you shoot the pictures , process
them and print them and then edit the ones you're going to use in the end.
Or edit the ones you are going to print.
So the thread "Editing" here really means just that. That?s enough to
confuse a bunch of people. Not use though!

Lots of love from SC,
