White glow around matte screen border?

A white glow has been occuring on my screen that becomes especially prominent towards the bottom, and after a few hours of usage begins to move upwards. However I recently observed that this white glow continues around the border of my screen. Can someone give me a diagnosis and is anyone else experiencing this?
MBP 2011

The lack of information, feedback, confirmation, etc that apple is famous for is exactly why I am deathly afraid of ordering the new 17" mbp. I have been stealing my girlfriends' peecee to catch up on emails and websites since I sold my old 15" mbp a couple months ago.
I was just about to pull the trigger and buy the new 17" mbp until the "delay", again no specific information given out by apple. Some people were charged secondary charges and had ship dates of the day of the announcement of the delay - which would logically dictate that there were plenty of machines that had to be un-packed, cracked open and "updated". So with all the unibody related issues, all the 9600 related issues, and all the screen issues of the 15" led, I am not sure i'll be able to play guinea pig for apple... yet again...

Bottom line, I'm hoping for a C86 or C87 to show up. Maybe that's hoping for too much.

White ring around iPhone screen

The screen on my friend's iPhone 4s suddenly has a white ring around the screen. Looks something like the photo below. Why would that suddenly appear? Is there any at-home fix?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). However, I doubt any of that will help as I strongly suspect the issue is caused by either a hardware failure or user inflicted damage.

The white boarder around my screen cracked, Does warranty cover that?

The white boarder around my screen cracked on my MacBook, Does warranty cover that?

You will need to take it in and have it looked at.....only Apple can make that decison....

White Border around the screen? 1/2 inch...

I have a white border around the screen, very noticable with any dark background...
Whats the deal with this?
Could this cause the display brightness to have to be turned up all the way just to get a good solid picture...?
This is not acceptable?

Motion 5 is giving me a white outline around my luma matte.

Hello,
I am having a small issue where my motion template is giving me a small white line around the edge of my luma matte.
This project was created in Motion 4 and it looked fine and then I updated it to Motion 5 and now I get the white outline. The settings are both the same.
Here are the two images showing my issue, first is Motion 4 and then Motion 5:
Here are the setting in Motion 5, they match motion 4 for the matte:
I double checked both settings on Motion 4 and 5 and they match. I have no clue on what is going on.
Let me know if anyone has any suggestions.
If anyone wants to see the full animation you may find it here:

Thank you and have a wonderful day!

I figured out the problem. I had created 2 different mattes. The one on top shows a luma matte of the break and the one under neath shows the luma matte of the break in reverse and the screen matte. So what I did is redo the matte under the top one with just the screen matte and no break.
It seems if you have two mattes that are top of each other and reveresed you get a white like of the split line.
I hope this expains the issue .
This is the top most matte which is correct:
This is the second matte I had, which is wrong as it will cause the white split:
This is the second matte that does work. I only need the break matte from the top matte, this second proper matte only mattes out the screen with no break and no white outline.
I hope that makes sence. It took me a while to figure it out.
Have a great day!

Thin white outline around garbage matte

Hi All,
I have a problem with a garbage matte rendering with a thin white line around it. Basically I've got 2 tracks of video. The bottom track is green screen footage, but its not a very clean key and some of the center of the image is being keyed away. So I put a copy of the footage on track 2 and used an 8 point garbage matte to keep part of the image intact. The garbage matte is keyframed throughout the clip. For whatever reason the matte has a thin white line around it when the sequence is exported. I'm attaching a stillframe to illustrate the problem. Anyone know why this is occuring?
Thanks,
Chris

I see no thin white line in that still image. Where am I supposed to be looking?
Wait, okay, you could have been morespecific what to look for or that we really needed to boost the magnification.
ONly visible when exported? Not visible in the timeline at the serquence settings?
As suggested, a feather will blend the two layers a bit better but you might end up with a feathered thin white line, too.
More specifics, what's the source footage format? What the sequence setting? What's the export format?

Silver border around my screen, instead of black.

I chose to add "MacBook Pro 15-inch Hi-Res Antiglare Widescreen Display [Add $ 150.00]" to my MacBookPro, but has also gained a silver border around my screen now, instead of the black. Why?

Still, I do not understand why Apple chose to use grey instead of just the other one.... They should just have made this grey one black aswell looks way cool'er..
Easy,
The anti-glare film is applied directly to the LCD panel at the LCD panel factory and in order for the anti-glare film to exhibit it's properties, it needs to be exposed directly to the light rays bouncing off of everything so it can diffuse them at the surface layer and give you a nice clear picture to view.
If you think about it, a glossy pane of acrylic/glass over the anti-glare LCD panel would render the anti-reflective properties ineffective.
So a bezel is needed to hold the anti-glare LCD panel in place in the frame, so Apple decided to use the same strong aluminum that the casing is made out of, likely from a spare cut off of the machining process along the line, which makes it less expensive than producing a whole new bezel from another material, perhaps at another factory.
Apple could have colored the aluminum bezel black, however that would have obscured the "MacBook Pro" logo at the bottom, and then that would have had to be changed. So it's a snowball effect of too many steps to get the two bezels to look similar, which was very likely hard to do.
But dude.. u just made my day! i'm happy i chose the antiglare now (as i'm working as a graphic designer) ^^, well i've been since I first got the mbp, but lso thought alot about the border around the screen aswell...
As a designer myself in my early days, we had CRT displays and they were all glossy and even slightly rounded, which reflected even more than the flat panel glossy displays of today.
So as a youngster I was wondering why my eyes hurt everyday at work, I was having headaches and so forth, but didn't know (nearly no one did) what the cause was and just accepted it as a occupational hazard.
Then one day we all got these silly looking anti-glare screens hanging in front of our CRT's, they didn't look pretty but it sure did help us be more productive because we could observe the screen for the long hours required to keep production on schedule.
but lso thought alot about the border around the screen aswell...
That's the artist in you wanting to look as cool and trendy as possible, however there is a practical side of things, your computer is a tool first and a fashion statement second.
People who hire you are not going to judge you too much what tools you use, but by the quality of your results in a price and time frame they can accept.
Now if your really serious about changing the silver bezel for black, you can contact TechRestore here who specializes in turning glossy screens to anti-glare, which include a black bezel.

How can I print a booklet without a white outline around the border?

How can I print a booklet without a white outline around the border? I'd like the front page to be covered entirely.

You either need a borderless printer, or you have to print on oversize paper and trim off the bleed.

I'm shooting great white screen but when I key out the white background, I have a very thin white outline around my person that I don't know how to soften without loosing some facial opacity. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm shooting white screen and FINALLY have my lighting, white balance, exposure and focus making a great looking, crispy clip! But when I key out the white background in a short segment, I'm left with a very thin, white outline around my person that I don't know how to soften, without loosing facial opacity. I only tried using the 'Edges' tool. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

set the wake-on lan on the main computer
The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.

I have an iPhone 5 and just recently when I get the camera button and it opens there is a black border around the screen and the screen is small and I don't know what I did to cause it or what to do to make it go away anyone help

I have an iPhone 5 and just recently when I opened the camera there is a big black border around the screen causing the picture itself frame to be smaller I don't know what I did to cause this or what I can do to make it go away can anyone help/

First off, try a reset of the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, see if the problem persists.

Screen has a white glow

I dropped my Ipod, and unfornutalely (even with a heavy duty case) the screen has suffered
damage and now has a white glow to it. This makes every thing really hard to see. I can still see my applications but not very well. Everything is functioning normally. I can see the screen clearly when I look at it from the side. Is the LED screen broken or is it a connection/ hard drive problem?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

White glowing screen and I cannot turn off and or reset. Just glows white

Try the remaining actions of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hairline white line around images in PDF for press

CS3, Windows XP
I searched the forum and didn't find this exact question, so..., I place PSD file in ID. When I export to PDF for the press run, I get a thin hairline white box around the photo. It only seems to happen when the placed image is over a gradient. It also only happens on PDF files for press run - either Press Quality or PDF/X-1a:2001. When I export to "Smallest File Size" it looks fine. I have the border of the image set to 0 and the color to None.
And it only seems to happen sometimes. A month or so ago I created a similar piece using different photos, but the same gradient background and it looked and printed fine.
Thoughts?
JAG

The stitching and a grey box was showing up on my press proofs. The printer suggested that I flatten the image before I send it to them.
Sometimes I see in on screen and sometimes I don't, but my printer says they see it every time and that it will show up on the proof. I've been trying several different PDF exporting options in ID. We are getting the proofs done correctly, but there's only one guy at my printer that can get the file corrected. I'm not sure exactly what he is doing, but one of the people I deal with suggested that he was opening the file in PS, flattening it again, and exporting to PDF, again.
He's the boss and not alway around, so I'm trying to figure out how I can get file exported correctly.
Thanks for your help.
