Rendering hair?

[LeeumDee]

Could someone maybe post a tutorial on how to render hair on a stock?
My cutting in general isn't bad, but when it comes to hair, and it's all over the place, I'm lost.... I attempt to cut it, and it usually ends up a little choppy (usually ALOT choppy )

Any tips / help is appreciated.

Thanks

Best tip cut it choppy then use a hair brush to redo the hair.

Ah, you're looking to EXTRACT hair from an image. Although there are some fancy filters out there, the most reliable method for such an organic and wispy object is the Photoshop quickmask feature. Simply hit Q on your keyboard and start painting over the hair. If you have a pen tablet set the brush size to be variable by pen pressure and the opacity to be consistent. Without a pen tablet expect the task to be quiet tedious, but still doable.

this is the tut I used. It's not exactly in detail but you get the point. Scroll all the way down the tut to see the hair part.
