Description Because people seem to like how I do hair, why not share it with the world in a way befitting my scatter-brained nature?

The zipfile of palettes mentioned can be DL'd here: [link]

Ha, i never could get the hang of PSP. I think I'll have to look this up for tips on that... Um. HOWEVER! Why do you not use the lightest highlight color? Hair uses five values of shading, but I only see four...

I've had troubles in the past where commissioner's portraits corrupted on the lightest hair color when they uploaded (Such as Lady of Dementicare Soul's). I don't use the lightest color of *anything* because of that.

Didn't they fix that in one of the furc updates? x_x I dunno. I use the full range and never had any trouble with anyone..

Cheating is in the eye of the beholder. I consider it creative use of the tools at hand.

In most cases I have found you can use different image programs because most of them come with similar features. I've used some Photoshop tutorials for Paint Shop Pro. So as long as you understand Photoshop reasonably well then you should be able to do this ^_^

oh well, you could always just skip that step and see how it comes out. Or you could just manualy modify the colours yourself ^_^ I'm not entirely sure on what that step with the palet does because it doens't have any real visiable effect that I can see. But none the less I don't think that it would be a problem if you missed out on it ^_^
