I'm interested in purchasing a plugin for Photoshop that will help in the creation of masks.
Does anyone have any experience with the myriad of plugins that are supposed to do this? Can you recommend any? Are there any that I should shy away from?
Money isn't really an object since my work will be buying it.
All input is appreciated!

What kind of masks? Things you can't mask yourself or do you need high defintion, feathering types?

Basically, anything that would help with masking or make masking easier/quicker.
We're a pre-press house and we do tons of color correction which means a good chunk of work is just masking the areas that need fixing.
The kind of masks we make run the gamut from simple blocks of color to fine, wispy (like hair) areas.
If anyone could just give me their experiences with any masking plugins that would be great.

I've tried many of these masking plugins and none of them hold a candle to what can be achieved manually (and quickly) with a little practice and tactical use of QuickMask/Select Colour Range/Brush Tool. I used to use CoCo for all my prepress colour correction which worked like a charm, but that was a while ago and I'm not sure if it's compatible with the latest versions of PS.

yes it works with PS CS.
The best color correction control out there.
