      “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.
