The reason is because normally EZ Composites is for making class composites and puts a stroke border around the image. Because the images are cutout (which isn’t the normal use case for the plugin), the layer style goes around the cutout edges of the images instead. That is just how PS layer styles work.
So when building the composite, you need to use the option to turn the layer style to off in the plugin settings. See the screenshot.
Another IMORTTANT thing……. Since you are manually building this template, you need to make certain that the internal smart object size is equal to or larger than the size it ends up being in the design. If it isn’t then the image will become blurry. On one of your smart object, select the “hamburger menu” and select “reste transform” to display the smart object 1:1 size. If it gets smaller then that is bad. If it stay the same size or gets larger then that is good. How EZ Comp works is it first resizes the image to the actual internal size of the smart object. then it opens the smart object replaced the content and save it. So if the internal smart object size is too small then it downsizes to that before placing into the smart object. the end result is it gets upscaled.
The reason I thought of this is because you are making fat heads which I’m assuming is a large print. If you copied over the class composite smart objects as a start point and just scaled them up then that could create this issue. In order to save a lot of scratch disk space, the class composite template use smart objects that are only a little larger than the actual design needs. Those smart objects are far too small for fat heads.
What you are trying to do is all possible, but kind of “off label”. EZ Composites isn’t something that is easy to make templates for from scratch. It was more design to just update the templates we release with the users own graphics or use the layout design for class composites. So this type of thing you are doing is kind of like going down the Rubicon Trail. You are 4 wheeling off the main road here 🙂
