When trying to paint a picture of hair in photoshop from poser, do you need other plugins like eye candy to make the hair or can you just use photoshop?

You can use just Photoshop, but I guess it really depends on how well you can paint.

I paint hair in Photoshop all the time. If you're going to do it by hand, I recommend getting a pen tablet. It's very difficult to do it with a mouse. Otherwise, Ravnheart has some hair brushes in the Marketplace here, uhm... Heavenly Hair. They're pre-drawn "pieces" of hair that you can use to create some interesting end results. I've got all of them. The Eyecandy option isn't a bad one, but generally speaking, hair made with Eyecandy is immediately recognizable as being generated with Eyecandy. bonni

By the way, there are many many tutorials out there in the Photoshop tutorial in Renderosity site alone, as a matter of fact probably one of the more popular subject to write a tutorial. Yes, if you decide to take the route of just using photoshop, can be quite challenging but the result and the painting skills you aquired after doing it is worth the hard work. Think of it as an exercise and give it a go :)) Enjoy.
