Well, I don't care if everyone knows the fur filter was used as long as it looks ok. I did this on three layers with some transparency and various shades of reddish brown. The best part seems to me the bun. But I was kinda amazed that the strands worked at all. I'm thrilled to know you used "Fur" on my favorite horses, Daio. I don't think you overused it at all, I would have used more. BJ's hair knocks me out, so I'll keep a heads up for that tutorial. Mostly I'm thrilled that some Hairstyles I was less than thrilled with are very fixable with this filter and not the groan smudge brush alone. My fingers still hurt from the last time I tried the smudge brush all by itself to fix hair-- which looked lame as lame can be. This one was also smudged and blurred and burned, but much much less. It was actually fun to do. So, is it considered cheating? Not that I'd stop using it, but I'd be better prepared for snide remarks in the galleries. Come to think of it, any remark in the galleries is fine with me:)) Emily
