I disagree. Although such images may be *copied* in less time in paint 
(and even faster using a camera), most/all of them would never have been 
created if one were restricted to paint only. The whole process of 
creation is totally different. I am not claiming to create art (I even 
have a letter from the arts committee in our hospital that I don't) but 
I know that for me it is impossible to think in only 2 dimensions. So, 
nothing that I created could have been done with either oil on canvas or 
with photoshop.
