Archdruid: Woe are we. For the simple tool for drawing is no more.
All: What shall we do? Where shall we go?
Archdruid: No more shall we make graven images.
All: And save them in a variety of poor-quality formats.
Archdruid: For we don't want to pay for Photoshop.
All: And we don't like googling "GIMP", though it is free, because it's hard to pick the right page without having to wipe out our browser history afterwards.
Archdruid: How shall I tweak images just enough that they still look roughly like they're supposed to, but not so much I get in copyright trouble?
Trekkies: How shall we spend hours creating detailed pictures of the Starship Enterprise, one pixel at a time?
All: Don't you lot all have Macs?
Trekkies: Oh yeah. Good point. Just ignore us.
All: We usually do.
Archdruid: And so shall I resort to creating pictures in Powerpoint.
Charlii: And exporting them as PNGs.
Archdruid: Or JPGs.
Charlii: Or GIFs.
Archdruid: Or WMFs.
All: Enough of the different image formats already!
Trekkies: Actually, we think you'll find JPGs are as dead as DVDs.
All: We thought we were supposed to ignore you?
Trekkies: Oops.
All: Isn't your "Paint Gravestone" just the same idea as the BBC one only not as good?
Archdruid: Yeah, I copied it then changed it a bit...
All: ....to avoid getting done for copyright.
