We recently purchased Fluid Mask 3 and have found it a very useful and time-saving tool to have. For masking hair or fur, this tool is great and really simple to use. Below is a five minute cut-out of a dog on a fairly complex background:

Not bad for a few minutes and certainly a lot less painful than doing the fur edge manually. You can download a free 14 day trial from vertustech.com and buy Fluid Mask from Amazon here:
