I have some images that i need to cuttout and i was wondering if anyone knew of some good third party software that masks fast that i could consider. thanks.
You could try Mask Pro 4 from OnOne Software (They have a 30 day downloadable demo) http://www.ononesoftware.com/
I used a few times at a place I used to work, was pretty good but still nothing beats time, a steady hand & a Wacom tablet
