i would like to photoshop a certain egg over harry potter’s face as he reaches for a bitcoin snitch, where i just used the verb “photoshop” ironically as in “xerox instead of copy” or “kleenex instead of tissue.” what image editors should i attempt to use?
Warning: I am not an an art person. I just know what works for me with the meager amateur graphics editing I have done over the years.

As an answer, I propose the following quests:
