My project requires a precise mask of an object--particularly clothes on a colored background. I've been using the pen tool to accurately outline the object (even for hair, which takes forever!!). The quick selection tool provides a quick mask, when used with the refine edge command, but the outline is not precise enough to satisfy the customer.

So my company's current project is to mask 100-200 items then send the outline back to the sender as a compressed photoshop file.

FYI I'm currently using CS5 and am running a DTP business, so a quality mask is of utmost importance for customer satisfaction.


I absolutely hate the pen tool. How can I make my process more efficient?
