I agree with everyone who says making a good digital print is hard, but I still think this misses the more important point. If a tool came along that made it easy, this would take nothing away from anyone.
The mechanics of writing a symphony are complex; the mechanics of writing a blues song are simple. Mastery of one or the other says absolutely nothing about the value of what you have to say. The composer John Williams is an impressive technician compared with bluesman Robert Johnson (who probably only learned three chords his entire life). But Williams does nothing besides rip off Wagner and Mahler, while Johnson plays what's in his soul. Musicians and critics revere Johnson, while they make fun of Williams. Which in the end makes all his skill and knowledge seem kind of sad. It's too bad he didn't put it to use for something real.
