My experience working with bitmaps is pretty good so far. I feel like I can use a lot of bitmaps in photo editing and game design. In photo editing, I can use it to change the color of certain items or add color to black and white images. I can resize items to make them fit better and create a theme. I can stylize an image based on it's background and items within the photo. In video game design, bitmaps allows me to create a 2D world with different settings and levels on a map. It also allows me to create 2D character designs and animations. I find the photo editing pretty useful and I like to experiment with it. The hardest part of using bitmaps compared to vector images is that I've had to adjust to the tools in one without being able to use the tools in the other. For example, I really liked using the shape creating tool and the pen tool in vector images because they have a lot of variety and were simple to use but the eraser tool was subpar at best. In bitmaps, I haven't found a shape creating tool and the pen tool is limited. The eraser tool in bitmaps is better and makes more sense. I prefer doing digital art in Illustrator because I like what I can do with it.
