Computer Imaging/Anyone done it?

Hi all you Hair-habituates, who among you all, has experienced Computer Imaging?

What is your opinion on it?
Was it helpful?
Would you do it again?
What did it cost you?
Or if you had any friends that have had it done ...what is the general consensis on it?
Give me the good, the bad, and the ugly of it.

Thank's

I've done it for several folks. I use a photo of the person, my extensive library of style and celebrity pictures, PaintShop Pro, and my own bit o' artistic ability. Usually comes out pretty good. At least good enough to show what the style would look like, if not better than the actual software packages (if I do say so myself). :)

So, why do you ask? Looking to get it done?

Awesome JF...I would love to see some of your work.

Lyris, I've had the program to do it for quite sometime. I attempted to offer it in the Salon as a service. But it took toooooo Much of my time and I really lost patience with it. I found that to sit down with clients...usually not mine....took way too much time away from chair time. And the money I made behind the chair was better....

I just got a new laptop and I decided to move the desk top to the salon. I have a digital camera...so I was thinking what I would be willing to do is take a pic of whoever...load it into the computer, get it lined up and let whoever just play.

ts really easy to try on styles and change colors. And if I or my assistant don't have to sit there with them they could just play and have fun.

What do ya think?

And will you post that Picture for poor Hal, already....lol.

Clairol's site has a pretty decent program where you can upload a pic of yourself, then try different colors and styles. I had a lot of fun playing with it in the past. You have to sign up, but I don't think I received any more spam than usual as a result. I never put my real name and address on those things.

Lyris... They look great.. I'm seeing long bangs and layers in your future!!!!!! In fact.. seems I have seen you that way and remember how great it looked?

You thoroughly crack me up Hal.

I've played with the computer imaging on a couple of websites, and on a program I used to have. It's more fun the times it'll let you do the hair like blue or purple or something :-) . I like unnatural anime-like hair :-) . Never had any experience with the results, though, as I've only ever just used them for play, not to decide an actual style to get.
