Way to miss the point... I'm not satisfied with looking at an oil
painting, because it doesn't have the ability to reproduce truly
photorealistic tones. How does that sound?
The relative lack of resolution and colour depth is an artifact of the
medium, just as much as grainy canvas or bleedy watercolours are an
artifact of other mediums. To say "I don't like it because the quality
isn't very good" is a bit like saying "I don't like violins because
they
don't have much bass".
But we're drifting woefully off-topic here.
