looks good enough to eat...too bad someone's beaten me to it. ;)

I don't know how others were able to solve this, but there is a logical solution.

However, for me it required two-way logic in column 1 and then again in column 3 (I forget which rows), and then some looking ahead to ascertain that for each column where there is a single block of blue, there can be only one position (or, when there are two blocks of one pixel each, two particular positions). That position is the topmost possible position (or sometimes the top and bottommost), because any other position will cause a logical inconsistency later on.

If that makes sense.

I've completed the blue through column 12 (and the bit on the right) but after that I'm stuck.

As soon as I saw the top clues, I knew what slice it would be!

Emimonster, look at the pattern forming. The green (rind) is separated from the red by 1 white (sometimes more). If you've got it thru col.12, finish that green horizontal into col.13, where it drops, and finish that green horizontal. Now you have the red (& black & white) through col. 23. You can take it from there.

Very refreshing image. A fun solve. Thought I was going to have to guess at the bottom and then I saw the pattern, so no guessing.

oh I did all the non blue. I only have some blue in the middle left. I can see what the image is supposed to be, but that's not solving with logic.
