Speedy keep. Adobe Photoshop and GIMP are raster graphics editors. Obvious notability, and many reliable sources [1][2][3][4] See also: Comparison of raster graphics editors which has a list of notable editors. --Mvqr (talk) 13:04, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The sources Mvqr provided show notability, and this is a topic that more than meets WP:GNG and has a plethora of notable topics that fall within the umbrella of its description (not that this shows notability, but it does show how likely sources are). Because specific examples of raster graphics editors (Adobe Photoshop and GIMP are the two main culprits) do tend to clog up the search results it may be more difficult to find sources that discuss the concept itself, but they do exist.[5][6] - Aoidh (talk) 17:42, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge, with Raster_graphics#Raster-based_image_editors. Sure, the subject is notable but what is there to say about it that can't be done in a few lines? SailingInABathTub ~~🛁~~ 19:43, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Discussed as a general topic (ie, without reference to a particular editor) in numerous sources. By the way (and totally off topic) calling bitmap graphics raster is etymologically absurd. The term raster in electronic imaging was originally applied to scanned-line analogue television. A bitmap image is a grid, not a rake (Latin rāstrum).
