Hi,
This question is essentially like that of a previous post that went unanswered. I wanted to re-ask the question for two reasons. First I originally posted the question just before the holidays and I might have missed someone with some insight into this problem and second, I have reworked the project in such a way that may be more familiar to the other members.
If you want to read the previous post for context you can find it here:

So the difference being that this new approach, rather than clipping masks for isolation of the pieces, uses ‘shapes’ and nested smart objects. Unfortunately the results are identical. Small amounts of pixels bleed past the vector masks (shapes) causing a kind of outline around each piece. This is especially pronounced if I add a drop down shadow to the containing smart object. You can see this problem here:

I have searched the group archive and have found similar issues that crop up during some kinds of printing and are corrected by Photoshop’s ‘Matte’ feature but not that seems to have no effect on this.
I did a quick mask to cover some of the problem up but I need to mask the individual objects separately. If you want to see the how this new version works you can see an example here:

With this new approach any number of raws can be loaded into their own template to be puzzleized. Also I figured out a way by using the ‘styles’ palette to quickly ‘show’ or knockout by easily and quickly replacing the piece style. And now by using nested smart objects not only is the process non-destructive but it is much simpler to work with. This works especially well for knocking out parts of a photo that otherwise takes away. I filled this web album full of in-process screen caps if you want to make one of these for yourself.

If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to contact me on or off list.
Thanks,
