Look up brow eraser for daz studio (one of the Zev0/Draagonstorm products).

There's the brow removal tool as linked above but it's a pretty easy zip zip gone in Photoshop. If you don't have Photoshop, I'd have to imagine it can be done in GIMP with similar ease.

I've never used the automated tool myself, but I'd imagine doing it yourself would be more precise.

The brow eraser does have some advantages over the photoshop approach.  If you want to do the manual brow removal properly, you should erase the image, its normals and bump map etc... Zev0's brow eraser has a mode so that if you need to manually refine the mask area, the steps are easy in app.

I've not had good success with that brow remover.

Yes, when I mentioned the ease of manual edits, I was speaking of making sure all maps are updated. The healing brush tools are the bees knees! Zip, pop, done...haha. I do a lot of brow swapping, so I've gotten quick with editing brows directly. For example, I might prefer to use Monique 7's skin, but I like Monique 8's brows and so on and so forth.

I had good results from the brow remover, but the next time I opened the scene the character's face had defaulted to flat white, and it was all to be done over. Not exactly enthused about that, but it isn't like it took all that long.

Did you save the new texture and material preset after applying brow remover, and then apply the material preset to your character? If you don't do that the texture applied will be a temp file which may disappear when you close DS.

I don't know how it works specifically, but I've experienced the same thing. I forget exactly what it was that I did and I could be wrong, but I think the textures placed there by brow remover stay there until they are removed from the scene and you "save" the scene then close Daz, or if you "delete" a scene from within Daz that uses the textures.

I hope some day a PA makes a good "Brow Construction Kit" for us dumber folks or maybe a tutorial "Crafting and Applying Fibermesh Eyebrows to G8 for Complete Dummies". I would really like to be able to make things such as brows, maybe some ear fuzz & nose hair.

Did you save the black brow as a material preset as per the Brow Remover Guide instructions before you saved (the save needs the preset as a resource to restore when you save)?
