Lasa,

Thank you for replying so quickly. The photo you attached and the puzzle piece on it look PERFECT. I understand the basic idea of stroking path lines but I'm not sure exactly how to do it. Based on your reply, I assume that creating and rasterizing a vector mask was the right way, or at least "a right way," to create the puzzle-piece effect.

As for how to stroke the layer mask, I need to know, for example: do I take one of the drawing tools and re-trace all the lines I made (I hope not)--or is there a way to simply select the layer mask and click a 'stroke' button? And you say I need to create a new layer to stroke the lines--why can't I simply stroke them on the layer where they already are? If I have to stroke it on a separate layer, how to apply the stroking to the layer mask, and then get the mask onto the background image?

Sorry to have to ask for detailed steps, but as we all know, missing even one step can make a big difference in Pshop.
