Hello,

I have a series of masks on a solid that form sort of a fanned out series
of lights, imagine laser light show if you will.  So, about 15 very slender
masked out "lights" that eminate from a single point (1 pixel) and then
outward to maybe 10-15 pixels.  I have it feathered at just one.

When I duplicate this so that I have overlap, where they cross over one
another, I get this little blur point right where they meet.  I'd like them
to remain pretty crisp as they overlap.

Is there anything I can do to get that?  I have them as 3D layers too,
thinking, maybe if I space them out by a couple pixels they might not react
that way but it looks the same.

Appreciate it.

OR - does anyone know of a more streamlined way to get this effect (laser
light show) through some other means than tedious masks?

Thanks,
Eric
