Then you can copy and paste it into a blank file, making a perfect mask with no clean-up.
What's so inaccurate about that, Skyblade?

If you have lighting applied, it's likely to cast shadows along the sides of your ship. Those shadows cause dark grey to completely black sections at the edges of your graphic, which tend to cause problems when doing any kind of selection. I've tried numerous such methods using Photoshop, but manual selection works best (time-consuming though it is).
Last night, I tried a new method for creating my ship masks with Infini-D, and I got much better results. I applied lighting directly from the given camera angle, colored it white, and set the intensity to maximum. Only needed a minute or two of Photoshoppin' after that.
