              “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.
