Hidden Power is certainly a good program.

A couple of days ago I spent some time playing around with the GrowCut Mask and Extract plugins. 
http://research.graphicon.ru/image-processing/gml-growcut.html

These are an alternative to Photoshop's Extract function and help to separate an object from its background.  They work quite well, and are a lot of fun to learn because of the in terractive display.  It's fun, but hard to describe how the image comes alive in a liquid sort of way as you select different areas

These should work with Elements as well as Photoshop.

Thanks for posting this plug-in.  I like what I see to this point, but layer masks are new to me, and what I wanted to do is replace a background with a sky image.  Can some one tell me how this is done with this program or point me in the right direction to understand how to use this program to replace a background image.  Again this is a very weak area in photoshop for me.  I would love to see the out come of the image that I'm trying to get to work.

I can see the mask in photoshop, but now I don't know how to apply the background and merge the results.  Any tips would be a big help.
