Photoshop STARTED OUT as a photo editor but it has grown to become a sprawling beast that has long since incorporated painting tools. Photoshop does not target any one niche any more; it can do photo editing, it can paint, it can animate, it’s got some vector capabilities... there’s a ton of professional artists who use Photoshop for a painterly workflow.
