Boundary line around image.

Hello
Does anyone know if it is possible to make a boundary line all the way around the outside of a design
? I know this is possible in CorelDraw. I have tried Offset path in ai, but it seems to offset all lines, including the internal lines inside a design.
I would like to produce a closed boundary line around the design, which could be used as a cutting line for laser cutting of the whole design as one piece..
Thanks for any help.
Regards.

Your link isn't attaching, but I think I know what you're looking for.
Group everything you want outlined, select the group, open your appearance panel (if it isn't already) and from the flyout menu "Add New Stroke"
You can then select that stroke by clicking on it in the appearance panel and apply an offset (or any other effect or effects) to it. If you want it offset, you'll also have to effect -> pathfinder -> add it, to make it all one shape instead of outlines of all the components.
Note that for this method, the offset command needs to be Effect -> Path -> Offset Path, not the one under the object menu.
Depending on how your laser software works, you may need to Object -> Expand Appearance to "render" it out as it's own separate object.
More info on the awesome power of the appearance panel here, here and here.

Help!! White line around image with placed in Illustrator from Photoshop, possible CMYK issue?

I have a CMYK file, outlined product, that looks perfect in Photoshop. When I place the image into Illustrator, it shows up with a thin white line around parts of the product (fyi - it shows up on a print as well). I have tried to place an RGB file and it does not have the white line around the product. I assume it has something to do with it being CMYK, but I'm at a loss on how to fix this. I'm desperate for any help.

Okay, please refer this image and change the option within Ai General preferences. Uncheck the option Anti-Aliased artwork.

White line around image

Hi everyone,
I keep getting a white line appear around images I save in
Photoshop and then insert into Dreamweaver. It happens when I also
save text with a transparent background. The text has a very faint
white line around it. Why is this?

Where are you seeing this, in PS? or DW design view or in a
browser?
When you insert your pics in an HTML page with 0 border, do
you still see
the border?
This is not a graphics forum. Adobe has a PS forum at

DW8-Fine white line around images

DW8 - On some of my images there is a very fine white line
around the edge when the site is previewed in the browser. The site
has an almost-black background color (181714), and I use the same
color in making the image backgrounds (in Photoshop CS), for
example roll-over images. How do I get rid of this?

You wouldn't set this in the Property inspector, you'd set it
in the CSS,
and the only time you need it would be when the image is
within a link:
a img { border:none; }
Also, you wouldn't expect this effect to produce a white
border - it would
be a blue one (by default).
I'm guessing the fine white line is part of the image (it's
easy to
undercrop when the canvas is white).
> I've noticed

specifying a zero.
If you have nothing there, you will get the default value for
the all of the
table attributes, which is often (but not always) not zero.

Line around image

When I insert an image, it ends up with a faint line around it. I've tried using a .jpg and .png image and the same thing happens with both. Any ideas how I get rid of the line?

If you are using Image Field then you can make it readonly which will eliminate the highlighting to the field..
ImageField1.access = "readOnly";
You need to place the code in the Initialize event of the ImageField.
Thanks

Moving lines around images

Hello,
Does anyone know how to make a thick yellow line move around images? If I have two rectangular images on screen, and I want a yellow line to appear, run across the bottom of one, up the side of the next, then turn again and travel across the top of the second image. . . how best to do this in motion?
I was trying in FCP with a solid yellow screen, cropped into a line, then key-framed to move. But someone suggested it'd be easier in Motion, so I thought I'd investigate. I'm not really great in Motion, but I can do some basic stuff. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Lawrence

Dunno if this is exactly what you're looking for, but it took me less than five minutes in Motion.
Line Draw Movie
I used an open shape to make my line, with the stroke of type: Image. Put a yellow rectangle into the image well, set the draw on and off, and bingo.
Here's my example project.

Dotted line around image frame in active state mode.

In my active state, I have the button set to open in a new window once it's clicked on, which it does. But when I go back to the page, there is a dotted line around the image frame that doesn't go away. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi
I believe you are using Firefox to view the site, as this occurs only on firefox.
This is a known issue on their end as the selection for page object remains when we return to page.
The details can be found on this link :
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Page_Inspector
where it is mentioned that they would be taking this off from Firefox 29 onwards.
From Muse we cannot control this as its a browser specific selector function.
Thanks,

Lines around image with drop shadow

Hello,
I am currently using Illustrator CS 5.1 and am having an issue with my PDF files. I have a graphic that I am building and when I import an image, place a clipping mask around it and then add a drop shadow to it, everything works fine and looks exactly as I want it on screen. However, when I save the document as a pdf, a hazy white line appears around the edges of the image. However, the line is not on the clipping mask itself, instead it is on the square edges of the unmasked version of the image. So when I have 10 masked items on the page with drop shadows, I'm getting 10 faint white squares around each of the images which looks terrible. Has anyone else experienced this? Any recommendations/solutions?
Thanks in advance!
Wil

Also change your acrobat settings to show overprint preview always.
If this comes back in Illustrator PDFs, Print >> Advanced >> Slide tranparency flattener to raster >> done , then save.

Creating PDF from PowerPoint results in lines around images

I've researched this topic on the forums and have seen some related posts but none that directly hit the issue I'm having. Have a PP file with some images and when I create PDF, the resulting file shows random "outline" lines partially around some of the images. These lines do not show up when printing. They go away if I uncheck the "Smooth Images" box under Edit/Preferences/Page Display. However, unchecking the box degrades the image quality and requires the viewer to make this change in his version of Reader. This PDF will be viewed typically on a screen rather than via print and I can't rely on the user to do the Smooth Images change. I have spent lots of hours trying various potential fixes (differing file types, etc.) but can't figure it out and haven't been able to find a solution anywhere on the web. Anyone up for the challenge of helping me figure it out?

Any chance you can post a link to the file or PDF page?

Thin white line around image

Using CS3 with Vista. I have a postcard that has a background image on the bottom layer, another (overlapping) image in the next layer, and type on the top layer. The image on the middle layer is showing very minor white edges (stitching (?) I guess) around parts of it. It also printed with this same slight, white jagged edge. This middle image has an effective resolution of 300 ppi. I read in Knowledgebase about turning off anti-aliasing but when I do it still shows this white edge on screen and the type seems to marginally get slightly jagged. It was so minor that the client was fine with it but I am curious as to what was causing it and if it's something I can remedy in the future.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
Gordon

Gordon has sent me his original files, and there are a couple of issues.
The first is with the background image, a 400 x 400 pixel jpeg that's been stretched to fit the rectangular sahpe, and then made 50% opaque. The effective resolution is 97 x 60 ppi, which as a ghosted background is probably marginally usable, particularly if printed on digital equipment, but is hardly optimal. I'd personally do the opacity reduction in Photoshop and save a new flattened version as a .psd for use in a background because it reduces the complexity of the file, but there's no rule that says one must do things that way. I simply prefer to use transparency only when it is required to achieve the effect.
The larger issue is with the middle image, which is a transparent .gif of a glass with a margarita. This is 1238 x 1667 pixels and has an effective resolution of 349 ppi, more than adequate for print, but it looks to me as if it was up-sampled at some point from a web image (not unlikely since it's a .gif) as the image is made of obvious square blocks that look like the original index color pixels -- a classic example of why you can't simply take a small image and upsample for print. Around the stem of the glass are a large number of white pixels left behind when the image was removed from its original background, which are showing as the faint white lines he described. These pixels could be removed using a detect edges clipping path in ID, but doing so leaves a very jagged edge. A drawn path in Photoshop is much cleaner, but the pixels in the rest of the image are still readily apparent and the image probably isn't really worth the effort to repair if a better quality can be found to begin with.

Word 03 to Acro 8: Lines around images

On MSWord files (book with small b/w line drawing cartoons)saved to Acrobat 8, lines appear around some images, but only when printed. Very frustrating. Who's clever enough to explain and fix this? Thanks.

I have the same problem. Did you ever figure out what was the cause and how to fix it?

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.

White boundary line around flash movie

Hi,
When I use a flash movie on an HTML page it all looks good in
Mozilla Firefox. In IE on the other hand, it sucks, because when
you move your move over the flash movie you see a white boundaty
box. Which makes it all look very silly.
How do I get rid of that?
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give me.

Boundary Lines on Simple Web-site project

I'm new to Muse, and I'm setting up a very simple personal portfolio web-site.
I ran into a minor problem. I'm setting up a very clean Master page with an all-white background. Muse puts a black boundary line around the header area and the master page's body text area and footer. I need to eliminate these boundary lines but I haven't found a way to get rid of them.
How do I do that?
Thanks in advance!
--WA

Hi WA,
Seems the black line is coming up due to stroke width selected.
Select Header, footer and the text area and put the stroke width to 0, or select none in stroke drop down.
Here check this link: http://gauravr183.businesscatalyst.com/images/2013-06-11_1450.swf
Hope this helps.

IWeb 3.03 and Firefox 4 weird boxes around images

Just built a small site (keepourcityclean (dot) org) but for some reason it looks good on Safari but not on Firefox. There are strange boxes and
lines around images that are obviously indicative of the formatting that iWeb uses, but why doesn't it work across all browsers? Is there a fix?

Not all browsers display a site the same because they implement web standards differently. Tried to log onto you site but it wouldn't load. Just kept the loading wheel going and going and going.
However, this tutorial might be of some help: #7 - Converting Photos w/Frames, Drop Shadows and/or Reflections into a Single JPG Image. It certainly will help in making sites more compatible with Internet Explorer and older versions of Firefox.
Since the http://keepourcityclean.org/Home.html won't load maybe you could take screenshots of the boxes in Firefox and post them in a reply.
