          “What do you use this paintbrush for?”

          “It makes colored marks on paper, duh.”


          What is your use case?

          • Slapping text on a screenshot to make memes?
          • Color grading photos?
          • Digital painting?
          • Crudely cutting out celebrity heads and slapping them on nude photos like some pervert with shaky hands, scissors, a glue stick, and some magazines?
          • Marketing copy design?
          • Professional portrait touch ups?
          • Making those sweet ass 90s Rose Art airbrushed rainbow filled binder covers?

          My <2 year old daughter “edits images” when I let her sit at my desk and slap around the keyboard and mouse with an image editor open. That doesn’t mean that what she’s doing is a comparable use case to Photoshop or other professional tools.

            In the past thirty years, I have done everything from photo touch-up to color science to retro pixel art with Gimp. It would probably be faster to list the things I haven’t done, if there’s anything.

            “What do you use your hammer for?”

            Hammering.
