The people who make these kinds of negative comments would probably look at an Ansel Adams photograph and say, "But you didn't make the mountains. You didn't make the landscape. How can you claim you 'made' it?" Technically, a person can't "make" anything from scratch on the computer. Did the person created 3D Studio Max? Did he create the operating system? Did he build the computer himself, including melting down of silicon to make the processor? Everyone's artwork is based on someone else's work. It's the arrangement of the parts and pieces that makes it unique and a work of art.
