Are any of you folks using masking software products like Fluid Mask or Mask Pro? Accurate selections and masks is the one thing I struggle with in Photoshop more than any other. Thanks for any input.

Paul, some of the best masking tools out there are available from Tony Kuyper:

If you want to select objects, rather than tone/saturation ranges, CS3 has much improved tools to fine-tune selections. I have to say though that in my work I never had to use them. Between Tony's tools, and Quickmask mode, I'm covered for just about anything I want to do.
