Yeah, the PSP brushes are awful for detail on hair. You can never get the edges soft enough and end up with hard lines that you have to rework. The smudge and caustics are pretty efficient though, and the layers and interface are more intuitive than Painter. Painter can be a dream, especially with the camelhair brushes that can do multiple strands at once, and graphic pens and special effects can produce nifty results. I hope Santa gives me a tablet for Christmas.
