4x6 Pictures - 1/2 inch white border

Whatever application I am using to print 4x6 pictures the results are always the same. It prints but there is a 1/2 inch blank white border after the picture. It doesn't use all the 4x6 paper.
I have set the printer to borderless printing.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
Thanks.

What printer model? Some printers require the use of "tabbed" photo paper that has a 0.5" removable tab. These printers are not capable of printing full 4 sided borderless, they print three sides borderless and then the tab is removed after printing resulting in a full borderless print.

My PDF has a half inch white border on the left when I open it in firefox

My PDF has a half inch white border on the left, as though the margins were inset by a half inch. But when I open up the PDF in Adobe Reader or Safari, it displays with borders as I need them.
For instance, the cover page, which is green, has a half inch border on the left.

Firefox might be reserving space for the sidebar that shows the page selection.

Some of my pictures have a a white border! why?

A couple of the pictures in one of my pages show a white border on the top of them, but this only happens over the Internet, it doesn't show in iWeb. Does anyone know why, and how to fix it? Thank you.
Take a look (the 2nd and 3rd images):

Don't know why this happens, but selecting the wonky picture in iWeb and changing its opacity to 99% will fix it.

Printing the test photo.....1/2 inch white border on right side.

Even after re-installing Photosmart C4780 printer in Win 7. I used to be able to print 4x6 fine but now this border problem. I don't want to change the paper type.....shouldn't have to.

Photoshop CS 6 I get a white border across top of 8.5x11 when borderless is checked

Hi, Photoshop CS 6 I get a 1/16 inch white border across top of 8.5x11 when borderless is checked. How do I fix this.
Thanks,
Roger

Couldn't tell you, I'm afraid. This is the Audition forum where we only really understand sound. Probably best to repost this on the Photoshop forum, I would have thought...

How do I get rid of the white border that prints on my pictures?

Lightroom 2 - Windows 7 64-bit - Nikon D700
I have just downloaded my Lightroom software to my new computer which runs Windows 7. I had lightroom on my old Vista computer and just had to change the border size to remove it from my pictures, however, for some reason it will not let me remove it anymore. When I try to adjust the border size it states it cannot be smaller than .2. Therefore, I have a white border around all my pictures I am printing. HELP! How do I get rid of this border. Thank you so much for the help.

Make sure you select a borderless papersize in the page setup. That will allow Lightroom to set the margins to zero. Otherwise it sets it to the minumum value the printer tells Lightroom it can print at at the current print size. Your printer and driver need to support borderless printing for this to work.

Can I output all pictures with a white border?

I like to output a version of the digital files that have a white border around the pictures. In the past I wrote a script in PS to handle that, which involved resizing the images to consistent sizes, and expanding the canvas size to create a border.
Can LR 2 do something similar?
TIA
Dean

You can use the print to jpeg feature in the print panel, or you can use the outstanding
LR/mogrify export plugin.

How can I get an even white border around 4x6 photo I am printing?

I am doing some photo restoration. I have a very very high res image that I want to print out at 4x6 and 8.5x11. I need it to have an even white border around it.
How can I do this in Photoshop CS5.5? I try to import it into inDesign it the dimensions don't mesh with the border. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

If you want to add the border to the image iteself you could use Image > Canvas Size to increase it accordingly.

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?

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 border around the picture when it prints

How do i get the white border off of my picture when i print my picture?

As mentioned above by hatstead tat all printers does not support border less printing so first of all check whether your printer is able to print border less. If yes then there are few steps to follow for MAC and WIN machines.
For WIN :-
Click on ‘Change settings…’ button and then by clicking on ‘Advance Settings…’ you will get your printer preferences dialog.
From printer preferences dialog you can check/select the checkbox/radio button for border less printing. This option is generally present under different tab for different printers like “Page setup tab for Canon Printers” or “Paper/Quality tab for HP printers” or “Main tab for EPSON printers”.
Once done and from PSE print dialog select appropriate paper and print size and click ‘Print’ button to get the border less print.
For MAC:-
f your printer supports borderless printing then you can find the entry for paper size with border less from ‘Select Paper Size’ drop down on print dialog.
Now select your print size from ‘Select Print Size’ drop down and click Print button to get the border less print.
Hope it would help you.
Cheers !!!

Suddenly all my thumbnails got a white border. How do I change that?

I have always used thumbnails of the different eBook covers I design, to see how they work in a small size. All the alias' of all the eBook I've designed is on my desktop, so I can compare them. Suddenly the new pictures I store either get no thumbnail at all(alias') or they get this annoying white border around them(originals), all the old one's are still perfect without border. Now I can't compare the new one's with the others, because the white border makes the picture in the thumbnail smaller. And yes I have clicked "Show icon preview" in view options and it doesn't matter where I save them(folders or desktop) or where they came from(Photoshop, preview, iPhoto or directly from my camera) it happens to all picture thumbnails. This new white border is on jpeg, png, tiff and pdf. Actually the white border is a bit smaller on the pdf thumbnail, but the same on the rest.
Hope someone have found a way out of this?

Firefox only has the basic setting for the default action to divert the action to a new tab or window or current tab, so if that behavior has changed then it is likely that an extension has caused this.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow
*1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
For links opened via JavaScript you can look at this pref:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Please please help! White border in interactive PDF

Hi Everyone, Please someone help me as its driving me mad! I have an interactive PDF with SWFs added via SWFPresenter script- all the animations work (each picture fades in as expected) but instead of it being full screen (as in the first screenshot), it has a large white border (as in second) Any ideas would really help me!!
Thanks

Moved to InDesign forum.
When you export you will note that you export an Adobe PDF. There's a reason for that.
Mac Preview is fine for a plain vanilla PDF but it ends there.

White Border

Hi, I am trying to make continuos image on the paper book cover . I have cropped the image in photoshop and pasted into the cover and flap sections - so far so good. However when I preview the book there is always a white band about 1/4 inch wide down the edge of the cover and the front flap.
the join with the back flap looks fine. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a workaround for this? I have tried repositioning the images to no effect.
Thanks for reading.

Hi, I have made a screen grab of this but cannot see anyway of uploading an image!
All that is happening is that there is a white vertical strip between the cover image and the front flap.This is only visible when I preview the image as a pdf. I don't know how better to describe this.( I am trying to make continuous image across the dust cover.)
The rear flap seems fine - no white border. I have tried different themes all with the same result. I would be extremely interested if anyone else has encountered this problem or could suggest a solution
Thanks

Getting rid of white border around photos when using iphoto to iweb

Hi there,
Am creating web pages in iweb and importing photos from iphoto. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the white border around my photos (image frame)? Hoping to enhance some of the templates with my own images. I also have photoshop elements and have been having the same problem there. Sure appreciate. Kim Strouble

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The link to the site is broken. There is a fix for some of the strange goings on since the MobileMe conversion. See Wyodor's post in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1605665&tstart=0. After applying the fix to iWeb I found I might have to republish a second time, occasionally a third and make sure I cleared my browser's cache.
If you're using Firefox 3 that's a different solution that can be found here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7486799#7486799
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Hi there,
Could you provide a little more info for the community? Is only part of the picture printing or is there a border that you are trying to get rid of? Also what model printer is this and what operating system are you using?
