Cropping, White border..don't want it!

When I try cropping pics on Photoshop Elements, it puts a white frame around the pic. Sometimes its not around the whole photo. It really depends on how I crop it. Do you know why this happens and how to fix it? I may just crop it in the original canon software and then edit using it photoshop but wanted to see if there is a way around it. Thanks!!!!

If I crop off all sides of the photo, the white border will be on all 4 sides. However, if I do not crop off on all 4 sides and go to the edge of the sides on two sides and then crop it off on the other 2 sides, it only has the white border on the 2 sides that are cropped.

  • Problems cropping white border against white background

    I'm trying to crop photos that have white edges and I'm doing it against iphoto's white background. I found the area in preferences where you can change the background to various shades of gray and black, but when I change the background to black, it doesn't change the background of the photo I'm editing, it darkens the backgrounds of the row of photos at the top of the iphoto window. Does anyone know how I can darken the background of the photo I'm editing?

    Paul:
    Try cropping in the Full Screen mode as the background there is black.

  • Problem with Bleed, getting a white border I don't want

    Hi,
    When I export my document, my 10mm bleed becomes this white frame. I have not found a solution on how to get rid of it. I've tried a bunch of different things, and now I'm hoping some nice person here can help me out.
    Here is how the bleed looks like in the document:
    This is the pdf: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3098225/spiral2.pdf
    This is my Indesign project file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3098225/spiral.zip
    I want my bleed lines to show, but I don't want that white frame.
    I suspect my problem is very easy to fix..
    I would really appreciate some help on this. Thanks!

    You can set the crop marks to a value greater than the bleed itself to move them outside the bleed area...

  • I have 4 equal oblong shape created with borders How do I go about knowing what size the selection area is so that I can crop an image to fit. I don't want to use paste in then adjust the bounding box to suit

  • How do I resize a pic? I don't want to crop it, just make it smaller.

    How do I resize a pic? I don't want to crop it, just make it smaller.

    Why?
    There is a reason to ask.  Aperture gives you superb tools dedicated to two things: storing and organizing your digital photographs, and converting (from RAW) and developing them into the best possible photographs.  It featuress a _lossless_ workflow:  your digital photographs are never altered.  In general, your workflow is:
    . shoot
    . import
    . add metadata and organize
    . develop
    . export.
    "Export" means "Make me a sharable image-format file according to these specifications".  You select a size when you export.  For almost all uses, it does not make sense to resize before exporting.
    When you export you can specify any size you want.  This and other specifics are set in the "Export Preset" you use.  You can view and edit your Export Presets at "Aperture→Presets→Image Export".

  • With green chroma concept, I removed the green background, now the green background is seen black. I don't want to have any other background clip, but I would like to change the background black to white. Please help me.

    With green chroma concept, I removed the green background.  Now the green background is seen black. I don't want to have any other background clip, but I would like to change the background black to white. Same like the advertisement clip in the Apple Website.  Please help me.

    If you want the whole of the project background to be white, you can change the colour in FCP X preferences.
    If you just want white for a section or clip, use a custom Generator from the Generators Library and change it to white in the Inspector.

  • I want a white border

    I am creating a newsletter, but not from the already existing templates. However, when you open those templates: example Newsletter: Informal, there is a white border around the main body. Is this just the margains being changes, or is there another way to achieve this? When you click on the template newsletter, X's appear in each corner. How can I get the same?

    It is the main background. The red square is an object and the x means the object is lock to the background.
    So by not having an object over the whole page you can create a "white border" when using a Page Layout document.

  • Cannot Control Bleed - White Border - CS4

    Good morning.  I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction regarding how to get rid of the white border that is being printed on my paper.
    I have looked around and found the following posts a little helpful but they weren't able to solve my issue.
    In following the first thread it appears to be unresolved and a link provided within, to another thread, doesn't seem to resolve my issue either even though it appears to be answered in that thread.
    The answer to this thread (shown below) mentions to go into 'Print Booklet'...
    ...and in the Margins section to enter the depth of bleed.
    So I go into the Margins section (as shown below on my computer) but am not sure what to select.  I've deselected the 'Auto' adjust to make sure my bleed is set to 'zero' but it still prints with the white margin.
    And if I follow the directions from the Answer further, by selecting 'Print Settings', I don't see anything that references 'PDF' in this window or series of windows that was mentioned.
    It appears there are many places to control bleed and margins in InDesign.  And after reading that 'bleed' is a required for control of your printing it makes sense.
    But how do I print a sample of this artwork for approval, the way it is supposed to look when printed, without the border?
    And furthermore, if my end product is supposed to be a tri-fold printed on an 8.5x11 paper and I have sized my artboards to fit this size (in thirds - 3.61 in x 8.5 in) but I am required to have crop marks, registration marks and color bars for the printer does that mean I have to print this 8.5x11 artwork on larger paper?

    If you printer doesn't support borderless printing then you can't do what you want without using larger paper and cutting it.
    And to be honest, that's the best way since borderless printers work by scaling the output and you can't control it.

  • Print to File:  Removing white border

    I have a lot of issues going on here.  I'm sure that a lot of my problems are a result of my lack of understanding of file size and print resolution.  I'm a newbie to printing with Lightroom, and, to be frank, a newbie to printing in general because I've never understood the terminology and technical aspects.  (Reading articles about dpi, ppi, image size, and resolution is a VERY difficult undertaking.  There is conflicting information, and it's hard to find someone who can explain it in easy to understand terms.)
    I print at Costco, and I use their printer settings.  As far as I can tell, the only way to embed the printer profile in an image is to print to file.  What I would prefer is to save my image as a .jpg and upload it to Costco.
    When I set up a photo for print to file, Lightroom places a white border around it because it's trying to arrange my photo on the printer paper.  Even when I change the Print Job to print to .jpg, it does this.  The only way to get around this is to check "custom file dimension" under print job, and then select a size.  Then, under layout, I'm able to set the margins to zero and the cell sizes to the dimensions of the photo I'm going to print.
    I notice that when I use a custom file dimenstion, the size of the image changes.  If I choose 8 x 10, it chooses a file size about the same as the original image (8mb).  If I'm printing a poster, 20 x 30, it creates a huge 27mb file.  At first, I thought I could just use ratios, such as 2 x 3, but it seems like that would shrink the photo down to such a small extent that it would be pixelly.
    And how is all this affected by resolution?  If I choose 300 ppi how is that affected by whether an image is printed 5 x 7, 8 x 10, or 20 x 30.
    Before using lighroom, I simply croppoed a photo, added the printer profile, saved it, and uploaded it.  I do not understand why Lightroom is making me choose the paper size.

    How you are getting rid of the border is pretty much the way to do it -- you can save this layout as a preset for next time.  However, as far as printing to JPEG for printing at a service, I just use the regular export dialogue.  Unless you are printing 8x10s with some custom layout of multiple files (e.g., you could print a number of little wallet-size photos, and then cut them out yourself) and don't need the features the print module gives you, this is just easier. But exporting a JPEG from the regular export makes borderless print-ready images if you select the right options.
    DPI/PPI can be a confusing subject, but there are tools on the internet that allow you to calculate the number of pixels you need to clearly print at certain sizes.  Honestly, for most of us not doing fine prints (and given you are sending these to Costco, I'm assuming this is not the case) just do 240 or 300 for 4x6s and 5x7s, increase this to 600 for 8x10 and similar sizes, and go to 1200 or 2400 when you step up to the really large sizes. Remember, the larger the print, the further back you stand to get the whole thing, so at some point resolution becomes less important.
    You can probably export at less than 100% quality and get very good results.  There is an article out there that discusses JPEG quality and file size in Lr, which is different than Photoshop. The upshot is that you get very good results at around the 85-90% range.  This, of course, depends on the information in the image.  You also want to strip most of the metadata from the file. This can account for a large amount of room in the file.
    Find out if your service expects sRGB or can accept AdobeRGB (surprisingly, a lot of photo kiosk prefer AdobeRGB) and then you can get your colours closer to what you expect.
    Ideally, you want to export at the size you expect to print at. Lr will optimize the sharpening and so on based on the target file dimensions along with the resolution, and you will just get better, sharper results. You will want to crop to the right ratios, too, so that the target dimension makes sense. Lr will never try to distort your image to fit certain dimensions, so some creative sampling will occur, otherwise.
    Lr is actually one of the easiest apps I've ever used for getting images print-ready.  Between the sharpening, the white and black points (because blow-outs in print look terrible) and so on, it is easy to get pretty good results as amateur.  You do have to decide the dimensions and resolution, though, in order for Lr to make the right choices when rendering the final JPEG.

  • Multiple page pdf created from illustrator - has white border on pages

    Hi - having trouble with a white border which appears around each page (have a colour background) in a multiple page pdf doc- created in illustrator (using page tiling) - anyone know the trick to get around this? Want the colour to go to the edges....see attached pdf

    File: Print. Beside Media select Custom. Make the size really big. Then click done in lower right. Afterwards save your file.

  • Unwanted white border in PDF,

    I get  white border in my PDF.  Designed A4 folding brochure in id cc14, exported as PDF. Bleed and margins set up 0.00. Any printer settings I apply don't make big different.
    What to do?

    No crop marks
    Office printer unfortunately.
    As you can see coloured elements stick well beyond the sheet.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Lights out white border.

    Hello I use the lights out function a lot when cropping images and I find the white border applied when in total black a huge help. I noticed it wasn’t there in this version and wanted to know if it was a preference setting or it was just removed. I have changed the lights out color to white which is nice but I would love to have that thin white border back for black backgrounds.

    I have the exact same issue and mentioned it another thread here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4129130#4129130
    For me it is a huge loss. It helps for a number of reasons. Firstly, I like to snap in and out of Lights Out mode during editing to visualise the finished image without distraction. I also like to crop in lights out mode. While attempting to crop it is now much harder to locate the edge of the image under some circumstances. Additionally, it is very hard to discern where the image ends and the background lights out effect begins in images that have dark edges. It's 100% clear to me that this should be an option rather than a feature that is stripped out entirely.
    As far as bugs go, I use lights out mode at least once per image during an edit. Often many times. Having used LR since release 1 I have never experienced an artifact left over by the lights out border. I'd very much like it back!

  • White border lines after live trace

    Hi,
    I'm new with Illustrator and I'm finding it difficult to navigate after Photoshop.
    Basically I have a photo which I have live traced. I did it in colour so it looks like a painting.  Thats what I want to end up with and will likely only be viewing it on my computer.  In Illustrator it looks fine, just how I want it.  But when I save it as a .ai file and then view it in something like Preview (on the Mac) it comes up with a thin white border between almost every colour.
    I searched this forum and the net prior to posting this but I cannot seem to solve the issue.  I have read things about transparency but in my case there shouldn't be any gaps, should there?  I just live traced the photo.
    If you can help me with please phrase it in simple terms.  I'm only just starting out here....
    Thanks!

    Hi Monika,
    Thanks for helping me out here.  I really appreciate it.  I do have some further questioning though if you wouldn't mind.  I'm just trying to understand what's happening.
    In Illustrator, I can zoom in and in and in to these lovely vector graphics and not see any white lines between the shades/colours.  So how come when I view the saved file in Preview at half the size I see the lines?
    I followed your suggestion and rasterized it and the lines don't appear.  I haver to admit I'm a bit disappointed however as I really wanted the smooth vector drawings.  If ultimately that is the effect I want to get, and I want to avoid the white lines due the pictures being displayed mainly on my computer, what advice might you give me to get there?
    Very much appreciated,
    Mellfee
