@Smaker1, The hair is Sookie hair by SWAM. I was wondering whether seeing the hair at that stage was what was meant to happen or not. I was only going by Gerald's manual (God, I wish he'd let me help him translate it; I get so damned confused reading it. Google translate is better than a kick in the teeth, but only marginally.........). It's good to know at least that is what is to be expected. Do you think that it could be the hair itself? It'd just be my luck; my favourite hair.............. I'm still using the demo version; I don't think it too unreasonable to get it to work at least once for me before I spend Au$75............ I know it's a good program, I'm just not having any luck with it............... BTW; thanks, Smaker1 for sticking with it and trying to help me - I appreciate it. @thehawkman; I hear what you're saying, but that is exactly what you do have to do (with the demo, imho). You either put up with having to ask lots of questions and "get in on the ground floor", or wait a year or two, until all the kinks are ironed out and then pay 10x the current price. I know what I write hear may seem contradictory to my frustrated posts, but that's just venting (I'm just more vocal than most). We all get frustrated and annoyed when we can't get the help we want, NOW. Just live with it; it'll be worth it in the end.............. I'm sure that VWD is doing all he can to put out guides and tutorials but, as he has to translate everything into English for those of use that can't understand/read French, it takes time........... In the meantime, download the demo, read the manual (start about midway through - that's where the working step by step tutorials are. Go back and read all of the "this button does this, and this button.... after having a few goes. It makes more sense that way) and have a go. Don't let my troubles discourage you; I'm just hopeless.........
