How to prevent shape layer masks from creating a contour?

Hey there! 🙂

I just wonder... when I mask an image by using a shapes' alpha channel it will create an ugly contour (it seems that the shape layer won't make a 100% overlay above the image below it and that the edge of the original image below comes through, without the colored and multiplied layer style of that shape mask layer above it)

Is there any way to prevent that? the actual contour of the shape is fully disabled.

Error or problem

Here its more obvious. on the left you can see the normal shape mask without any overlay and you can see that there is a "transition stripe" between the mask and the background fill layer (black one). When I fill the shape mask with a color and make the shape layer visible you can see that "transition stripe" won't be affected by this somehow...

Could you share the JPG image that you are using? I will share my project once I can test with your image.
