The hair is 2D-I set up a 'dummy' file (you can bring in a file picture of yourself or whoever or use their 'models') just a white background and used it that way. I printscreened and then selected the area where the hair is, took it to PSP and used a mask, layers to add. For this image I created a closeup (bald) of a woman, saved that as a .jpeg and brought that file into the Cosmo program. You place the face with the help of a template and can enlarge or make it smaller as well as the hair styles. I then just kept playing with the hairstyles until I found one I liked. I then printscreened that, selected the image with hair, resized, and applied noise, filters, etc. Hope this helps. I think you would need to use the first method if you were using a full figure or had the head tilted to one side, etc. My 'mask' techniques are rusty so need to work on that a bit. Paul Haefeli says the version 1 has masks in place and supposedly it is easier to use that version to add to Poser heads in PS or PSP. Also, there are male hairstyles and facial hair. Diane B
