    Is it around your pitchur or when you have a program up?
    If only the picture is up go to desktop/screan saver you may need to streach it.
    If when you have a program up bringthe arow to the top of the progran and hold down the space bar move it to the left top then bring the aeow to the right lower cornor and again hold down the space bar and drag the cornor to the right cornor. hope this makes sense. and helps. Jim

  • External monitor not displaying full 1920x1080 (black bars around desktop), Pavilion g6

    I have a Pavilion g6 notebook running Windows 8.1. I have an external Acer S232HL display hooked up via an HDMI cable. The resolution is set to 1920x1080 in Windows, and I'm only outputting to the external monitor.
    Windows thinks the resolution is set to 1920x1080, but for some reason on the monitor it is scaled to something like 1734x980 with black borders (unused pixels) all around.
    All drivers and OS are up to date. Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 7640G via an AMD A8-4500M APU.
    Somebody posted what looks to be the same problem for this AMD chipset, though for a different manufacturer:
    https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Essential/G505S-doesn-t-full-screen-my-External-Monitor...

    (Workaround)
    Since I don't expect to find a fix for this, I've resigned myself to setting the resultion to 1776x1000 and setting the monitor in a 1-for-1 pixel mode (called "Aspect" in the options). I still end up with the borders, but the graphics are nice and sharp because it isn't trying to scale 1920x1080 into a smaller resolution.

  • Black border around my desktop and everything is zoomed out?

    i have a macbook air and just this morning i noticed the desktop screen is zoomed out and there is a black border around the page, also when i go on safari or any other app everything is slightly zoomed out including text. even when i zoom in on the page it is still small and i still see a black border which covers the buttons to exit or minimize the page unless i go over it with my cruiser. how can i get the screen back to normal ?

    Try a NVRAM reset
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R.
    Turn on your Mac.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys immediately after you hear the startup sound.
    Hold these keys until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for a second time.
    Release the keys.

  • How can I print with black border around edge of image?

    I'd like to add a black border around the edge of certain images I'm printing. I know it's fairly trivial in Lightroom, but I can't see where this option is in Aperture. Is this lacking in Aperture, or am I just missing it? Many thanks.
    PS -- I'm aware there are some plug-ins that claim to do this, so if Aperture can't do this, please feel free to chime in with comments on the best plug-in for this task.

    Aperture BorderFX 1.1
    Thanks, Rich. That's a good plug-in, and does cover what I need (with lots of other features, too). The problem, though, is it requires an export of the image, which I then have to either print from another application, or reimport to Aperture to print. I was hoping to find something that will either just apply the border to the print job, or that would serve as more of an Edit With . . . type of plug-in than an Export plug-in, so I can keep everything in one place. Thanks again.

  • How to get rid of the black border around the artboard

    Hopefully my last question for tonight.
    I need to get rid of the black border around the artboard. The two images show my drawing lined up with the art board and then inside the artboard. The dark gray is not the artboard.
    As you see, the artboard has a black border. I need to get rid of it. It shows up in my project when my color key is green. The black won't go to transparent.
    So how-to get rid of the border? Thanks
    ***Update***
    I figured it out. View > Hide Artboards. Maybe this will help someone. Doesn't change the fact my spider looks like a tick:)

  • How to remove black border around image files?

    I'm something of a beginner with Photoshop, so forgive me if I've missed something entirely obvious: for some strange reason I'm now getting a black border around all image files that I save through the "Save for Web & Devices" panel. Does anyone know how I can save without creating this border? It looks rather unsightly when I load it into a client site. The file in question is a .png, but I seem to be getting the same effect with all other image files as well.
    Thanks in advance,
    Shane

    One cause could be having the matte color set to something other than none.
    Is that a png-8?

  • Black border around hotspots in Image map?

    I have an image map in my HTML file that contains three
    circular hotspots. When they're viewed in a browser, each one has a
    black border around it after it's clicked on. I've seen other help
    threads on the border problem talk about putting 'border:none" in
    the IMG tag, but there's no IMG tag..it's an image map and border
    is already set to "0". The code is below:
    <map name="satelliteLinks">
    <area shape="circle" coords="94,64,41" href="

    Any suggestions would be very helpful as my deadline to have

  • Easy way to put black border around cropped video.

    Hi
    I was wondering if anyone knows of an easy way to put a 2-3 pixel black border around a cropped, shrunk video clip.
    Its kind of a picture-in-picture deal, but the "simple border" filter doesn't take into account the cropped edges. I've also tried drop shadow, but I need it to be hard lines.
    Any suggestions (I'm looking for the easy way because I need to apply this effect to about 100 clips, otherwise I'd just put a black colour matte behind the image).
    Cheers
    Chris.

    Layer the Boris Vector Shape generator around your clip. It's a great tool.

  • What about this black border around my movie?

    I've just started learning about iMovie. With a Canon Digital I've shot some test footage. Thing is, some of the clips have a black border around the entire movie where other clips have no border top and bottom but do have side borders. What gives? Many thanks.
    Mac Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  

    The problem sounds like it could be an issue with what format you selected for the project when you first created it. iMovie gives you a choice of DV, DV Widescreen, HDV 1081, HDV720, MPEG-4. If you choose one format for your project, but the camera is not set for that particular format, you will see the black bars appear on the sides or around the top of your image.
    Which Canon camera are you using? Check to see what format the camera is recording, and make sure your new project matches this.

  • Black border around all clips

    Hello
    I have a black border around all my clips from one camera even when I set the canvas to "fit to window" I'm having to scale up these clips to 138% to get them in line with other clips in the project. I suspect this may have been an incorrect camera setting but is it possible to fix them all in FCP without having to scale each clip individually?
    Many Thanks
    Adrian

    If you get one clip the way you want it, you can copy it, select all the others, right-click, choose "Paste Attributes", and check "Basic Motion".

  • Black Border Around Footage

    Hello,
    I have a problem when I import footage into Final Cut. If it is from my camera in SD at 16:9 I get a black border around the footage. It looks like the footage is scaled down a bit but when I open it, it isn't. When I capture it, it looks normal and I can work with it in iMovie but as soon as it is in the timeline of FC it gets the rectangle around it.
    Please help, I need to fix the footage +by tomorrow+.
    -thanks

    Please be specific. What camera is this? What format are you shooting? What are the item proprieties for the clips? What are the item properties for the sequence? Do they match?

  • Black border around screen

    Hello, I'm not entirely sure when this started but I have an annoying 1/4" black border around my screen. I think it has to do with scaling, but can't find an option within the integrated Intel HD Graphics to change built-in monitor.  This notebook has Intel HD graphics 4400, and is running the most current Intel Graphics HD and WIndows 8.1. Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    , Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums.  The first step you should try is a system restore back as far as you can go.  This will change your configuration back and remove any updates that may have caused this. HP PCs - Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 10,8) Here are a couple other links that may be of help. HP Notebook PCs - Troubleshooting a Notebook LCD Panel Issue (Windows 8/8.1, 7) And. HP Notebook PCs - Resolving Problems with Notebook Displays (Windows 7 and Windows 8) Please let me know how things go. Thanks again for posting and have a great day.
