I have about 60 different kind of brushes and the Natural Brush really gives a great end to my hairs... well, the [painted ones](http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=107398). Hehehehe... Gee, sounds like a shampoo commercial! ;-) The smudge tool does a perfect job for me here. But the trick I use is to not set the pressure too high. And using a smooth strokes with it does help a hell of a lot. Like Jim mentioned, the graphic tablet is really awesome for that. No illustrator does without. I got a lot of reactions on how I can get my painted hair look so good at the ends. So I must be doing something right in combination with Photoshop. But really, no problems here with the smudge tool... it does its work perfectly. And I couldn't have judged about it if I didn't also use the Painter one... hardly any difference, only maybe that it's easier to work with the Photoshop tools all in all. Especially that of PS 6.0... But... I can't say it enough, if you get the hang of it it's you who does the job and the program is only there to put it on the screen for ya!
