Quote - I'll take a look at that ilona set.  It might be especially useful for distance renders.  Close-ups might be a problem, though -- due to the fact that I'd be using a hair prop or figure in the "non-hanging-hair" scenes -- and I'd need to match the style/color for the hanging hair.

To me, that's the best part of her hair layers. I've used them often with short hair props and have been able to match the color and style perfectly. I match the color mainly by taking the color from the hair prop with the dropper and then clicking on hue and sat/colorize. It takes some work to get the style to match, but it can be done. I also mix the hair layers quite often and just erase the "parts" not needed using a "fuzzy" brush. Blends very well and you can match the color by merging only the visible parts then applying the hue and sat.
