I got an off-list reply suggesting clipping the final image with a bezier path. So I used NSBezierPath's addClip with the same path used in drawRect: for clipping my final image. Works perfectly.
Thanks to all for the suggestions!

The problem is that the subviews are not rectangular but have rounded corners. So far I'm using NSBitmapImageRep's -initWithFocusedViewRect to grab a screen-shot of the correct part of the screen. Unfortunately I can only specify the portion of the screen to grab using an NSRect. This results in the background of the main view being included in the dragging image. This looks kind of ugly. What I'd really like is to do the same but specify a bezier path instead. I was wondering if there is a better way to generate a drag image which properly reflects what the subview actually draws.
