This sounds similar to the cut-out effect you can acheive w/ PSP. Maybe
you can incorporate this tutorial for it to PS?
http://newdawn.gzinc.com/tutorials/cutout.html

or try this tutorial for PS cut-outs:
http://www.aqa-d.se/pstips/specfx/cutout.htm

neither tutorial requires any type of special plug-in.
