That means we're talking about FF-generated (I emphasize "generated") art.
For example, my filters mainly meant to modify something and I cannot
present them in this case. Besides, I doubt something good can be made by
one button press. This usually requires a lot of compositioning, detailing,
many adjustments, many extra tricks. That's what result in good quality I
think <g>. I don't think we should consider only *pure* FF art.
