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.
also they didn’t mention anything that couldn’t be done in MS Paint lol. something Gimp still doesn’t have - Content Aware Delete which was added in 2010…literally 15 years ago.
yes, yes it could. You went into no detail at all, so it’s literally up to the reader’s imagination. photo touch up could mean literally filling in freckles, well use the eyedropper tool and draw over them. Color science could mean checking the color profile of your monitor, the colors in paint are HSL. Retro pixel art is literally just drawing, you just don’t get the help of pixel by pixel drawing, you’ll have to manage that yourself. Your response indicated nothing about how you use GIMP, and honestly, I doubt you have used any really in depth features that Photoshop provides.
Image editing.
Well I can tell we’re past the point of productivity. Have a good one
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?

Christ thank you. This dude is ridiculous.

“What do you use your hammer for?”
Hammering.
Why didn’t you just start by saying this?

No, literally none of that could have been accomplished with MS Paint.
