    I’ve been using the Gimp for decades to great effect. Git gud (pin intended). Also, all phone photo editors are garbage.

                What else is the program for? I haven’t used Photoshop since the '90s.

                  “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.
