Manikin Flesh, that is totally awesome! Mathman, Hair Kit III is made to be used as Manikin Flesh has. To paint hair you usually need a pen tablet and a program as Photoshop 7 that has dynamics so I added the brushes for those that do not have a pentablet and cannot get the thickness of the strands easily with a mouse. I'm not familiar with PS Elements 2 but the brushes, as specified in the Read Me: "The brushes are for Adobe's Photoshop 7 OR ABOVE." They really shoudn't be used on their own to make hair but along with the actual psd layers of hair. If you want to use the brushes alone, you should create a base for the hair first and then follow gillbrooks' instructions. If you don't make a base, I would start by selecting your color range and make a double stamp brush on a first layer using the darkest color "multiply 100% opacity", and continue with each tone of color (at least 5 color tones of the selected color) and then dodge and burn. Does this answer your question? :) Let me know!
