Subject: Masks Bleeding over one Another

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
