I'm still looking for better tutorials for Mask Pro 3 -- or is there a better program out there to mask out backgrounds? The tutorials for Mask Pro 3 are woefully lacking. Thanks...

I am partial to Knockout 2, but usually it's doable with the tools in Photoshop. Even for wispy hair. Look at the channels and find the one with the best contrast. Duplicate it and enhance the contrast with Levels and try to get the hair against the opposing background.
It varies from image to image.

I'll try what you suggested - but hair usually picks up color from the background and I thought some of the other programs were good at doing this. Also, I thought they were better at semi-transparent object like glass, bubbles, some see-through fabrics, etc.It's more about technique and patience than anything you can buy.
