Where possible I turn off cast shadows on hair. If I want to add a shadow to a specific place I'll smudge one in in PSP. I got sick of having huge pitch black voids behind the neck when using long hair and then cloning in hair to those areas in post work, so now I just automatically turn off "cast shadows" for all hair.

If there was a way to adjust the depth/opacity of the shadows instead of Poser deciding for me, then I'd probably turn the cast shadows back on.
