The crazy thing is that I went into the Ps file (in photoshop) and made only the woman’s layer visible (since it is the layer with the problem) and deleted all the effects from the layer. So the only thing seen is the woman and a transparent background. I then saved it out as a PNG and used it instead of the Ps layer of the woman inside of the AE comp. The same artifacts appear. I’m stumped.
