Hi all, This question is specifically for those who use any of Nirvy's hair kit products. For this exercise, I used Photoshop Elements 2, but I think these questions are equally applicable for any graphics program with layers. How do you obtain fullness, sheen, variability of color etc. from these hair brushes ? In the sample image, I have selected one of Nirvy's brushes and - using the Brush Tool - have stamped this lock of hair a few times. If I stamp any of the hair brushes (not just this one) once, it remains semi-transparent even when the Opacity is set to 100% (1). If I stamp it a number of times, I just get a dead flat patch (2). I always paint or stamp the hair each time onto a new layer. For each layer, I've tried varying the color slightly. I've also played with the dodge and burn tool. No matter what I try though, I always end up with a frustrating mess on my hands. Can anyone recommend any good techniques to obtain good realistic looking hair from Nirvy's tools ?? Thanks in advance. regards, Andrew
