the best way is to try and reproduce the background in PS, and use the brush tool to mask the hair against the new background…because if you cant then a clipping path is the only way, and that isnt the best way to get the best image, although it can often be acceptable.

Why not just build the entire background in photoshop with the gradient background from Quark. Better to go that way than paste another element into QuirkX. If placement of text is an issue, export the Quark file as an eps and place it in the photohsop file as a layer and you can build the entire image as one background file and only use Quark for the text.

….not to mention the superiority of a Photoshop gradient made with the gradient tool set to dither.
