Drop shadows show as white boxes

Please can anyone tell me why (most of) the drop shadows on my site are showing as a fine white line around the image? This is only happening on images - not text. Can I fix it somehow? Baby-talk replied here as I am new to this. You can see the problem at www.bothepoodle.co.uk

As a test, I put your "Bo the Poodle" on a web page with just a shadow:

...and no white outline appears. Do you have another element such as an empty text box behind Bo?

Unwanted drop shadow showing up on shape objects - BUG?

Hi all,
I am currently using photoshop cc 2014 and pasting vector objects in as a "Shape Layer" - for some reason a shadow is showing up around every object i create since i upgraded to cc 2014 but it is NOT a layer style. How do i remove this? is it a graphics issue or processor issue? Does anyone know the settings to allow me to create shapes with sharp edges?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm running into a similar problem. I've pasted a shape from illustrator as a vector smart object. When I have a green rectangle below it, there is no drop shadow. But when I hide that layer, the drop shadow clearly shows above the white background.
It appears to be controlled by the global light under layer styles, but I can't turn it off even when "Drop Shadow" is unclicked.

What am I missing here? Any help would be awesome. Thanks!

At times, the type in the bookmarks toolbar as well as the tabs changes to white with a drop shadow on a white background, making it very difficult to read. I do not know what it causing the colors to change. Is there any way to fix this?

Pictures Showing as White Boxes

I upgraded from an iPhone 5c to an iPhone 6. On December 22nd when I restored my phone from my iCloud backup all of my photos showed up as white boxes. Since then some have shown up but most of them are still showing up as white boxes. It says downloading below my albums. When I click on the photos that show as white boxes it says "loading" but then goes right back to being blank. It has been like this for over a week & it is starting to become extremely annoying. Some of my most important photos are showing up as white. Any ideas or solutions? Someone please help!

Wait until the restore from backup finishes, connect to wifi and plug it to a wall outlet and let it finish.

Why don't transparencies and drop shadows show right in pdf on Firefox ?

Hello,
We have display problems with transparencies and drop shadows in pdf that we upload on our website.
When these pdf are opened on Firefox the areas where we have used transparencies, drop shadows and color gradation end up in grey boxes.
This is a real problem for our society which only operates on the web.
You can find below some links to pdf that are particularly affected by this display issue :
- http://www.francebureau.com/doc/montserrat_bureau_ebenisterie.pdf
(grey boxes have appeared on the header, some pictures that were a bit transparent are missing on page 2)
- http://www.francebureau.com/doc/bureau_reglable_cervin.pdf
(same problem on the header, on page 2 color charts are completely lost in grey boxes, on page 3 same problems with the color charts)
- http://www.francebureau.com/doc/origami_fauteuil_pliable.pdf
(same problem on the header, on page 4 color charts are in grey boxes)
Viewed on different web browsers these pdf show fine.
The issue is that all our website and our turnover are based on these pdf documentations, which could be viewed by a customer using Firefox.
We are aware that changing our pdf viewer would be the solution but only for our computers and we cannot make all our customers change their pdf viewer.
Are you aware of this problem ?
Do you have a solution ?
Can you keep us in touch ?
Thanks

Hey I found out from the developers that this is actually fixed in version 29 via Bug 965861. Try the pdf viewer in the next version of Firefox, this will take care of that gradient. :-) Cheers.

What to do, what to do...InDesign - Drop shadow adds semi-transparent box in PDF

I am having an issue when I add a drop shadow to an object. It looks fine in the InDesign file, but once I export it to PDF (high res - (low res looks fine)), around the object yes there is the shadow, but also there is a semi transparent box. I don't know how to remove that. I've been looking at the preferences but don't understand why that happens. I printed it out and the box comes out. Please Help!!! Thanks
I am using ID CS4

Creative Cloud App just showing blank white box! Cannot install Photoshop

I'm trying to install a Photoshop trial - have followed instructions to install the CC app. The icon appears on my desktop and a Creative Cloud folder appears in my Explorer folder but when I click on the CC app, all I see is a white box.
Occasionally, I have managed to get list of apps to show - but when I click on the "Try" button next to Photoshop, again it goes to a blank white box. Can't do anything! No spinning icon showing that something is loading - just blank white.
Very frustrating. Just want to download the trial so I can decide if I want to buy. Am on Windows 8 (64 bit). Have tried uninstalling and re-installing using a different browser (Firefox & Chrome) but still same result.
Please help!!
Thank you,

Hi again Jeff - I just read on a similar thread that another user had the same issue with blank CC app and realised the problem was her username having an ampersand "&"
I have an ampersand also in my username on the computer - do you think this might be affecting the issue?
She gave instructions for changing the username (although the link is for Win 7 and I'm using Win 8) - but I'm nervous about changing big system things like that. What happens to "permissions" on certain folders - am I likely to be locked out of making changes in certain folders?
Here is what she wrote on that thread:
If you have ampersand (&) or other non-alphabet characters in windows user folder name (Example: C:\Users\Bob & Mary), then Flash Builder will fail to install (happened to me), Creative Cloud will display white screen, and/or other miscellaneous problems.
I confirmed this to be true and works:
1) I had blank Creative Cloud window as shown in the first post.
2) I renamed the display username and window user folder name by doing the instructions here:
http://www.ghacks.net/2011/03/28/how-to-change-a-windows-account-name-and-user-profile-fol der-name/
(Example: Change from "Bob & Mary" to "Bob n Mary" - without the quotes)
3) After logging back in my newly renamed account, I opened Creative Cloud and login interface shows up! :-)
I would prefer not to do this if you have another suggestion? But just thought I'd mention this as well to see what you thought.
I have also since tried uninstally CC, deleting both the OOBE folder and the AAMUpdater folder, then re-installing CC again... same result. I always get to the list of Apps fine but the minute I click on the "Try" button next to Photoshop, the whole App window goes to a blank white screen and freezes.
Thank you.

Drop shadow on a text box?

I'm not really sure what I did, but between last night and this afternoon, somehow, a drop shadow appears with my text boxes...I'm so confused, and I don't know what I did. I know that when a text box is drawn, there are no available options for effects, and I don't see it anywhere in my paragraph styles.
I'm running CC on Windows, if that helps. I'm in school and this is for a class assignment, so I need to get this fixed. Any ideas on where to look? Would a screen shot help? Thanks!

Open the Effects panel (Window > Effects). Select your text frame(s) and look for an "fx" icon on the Effects panel. Drag it to the little trash can icon to eliminate the effect.
You probably clicked the "fx" icon on the Control panel by mistake when nothing was selected, turning on that effect for default frames.

White box? SWF shows as white box in Dreamweaver

The SWF starts animating, but a white box will show for a
second and motion starts on /home.
on /portfolio and its lower levels the buttons showup but the
graphics dont...
Im a noob, but I know the home page is only 48k, so I wouldnt
guess size is an issue...

FTP it and include dependent files. Make sure the Scripts
folder and script
are on the server.

Restore pictures show as white boxes

I recently switched from an iPhone 5s to an iPhone 6. When I chose to restore from iCloud half of my photos now show up as white boxes, when I click them all it says it loading, then it goes back to plain white. What do I do?

Wait until the restore from backup finishes, connect to wifi and plug it to a wall outlet and let it finish.

Black drop shadow bleeding onto white text during printing (but looks fine on screen)

For my business card design I have white text overlapping an area of very white grey- causing readability issues (insufficient contrast). It looks great apart from this one problem, so I still want to keep my white text and light background and fix it by separating the text and background with a darker drop shadow..
First, I added a black drop shadow to the text- but this was not enough to increase readability (text still looked faded on background as drop shadow was too subtle at 85% opacity, 0.04" blur) so I added a drop shadow to my drop shadow (100% opacity, 0.02" blur + 18% opacity, 0.02" blur). This produced a heavier drop shadow effect for my text as desired but, for some reason, the text came out slightly grey in print (offset run). It seems the drop shadow somehow got printed over the text itself to some extent- turning the white text somewhat grey (and so not looking as clean as intended).
How could this dropshadow bleed into the text happen? Is it to do with the fact I added a drop shadow to my drop shadow? I would have thought that, even then, the text should entirely overlap all of the drop shadow as the text is the top layer in the group.
What can I do to ensure that drop shadow does not print over text in any way in future? Do I have to stick to only one layer of dropshadow-or is there something else I'm missing?

One way this could happen is if the white fill of your text was not with 100% opacity.
Also, do you see a whiter place than your text on your business card? It could be the color of the paper if you are comparing with the white of the image on screen without proper color management.

Spry menu problem in IE- showing as white box

Help please. My spry menus are showing as a white box in Internet Explorer. All other browsers are fine. I am a newbie and don't know how to fix the problem. http://harmonized.harmonized-design.com.

I recreated your web page and it's working for me:
http://www.elanwebservices.com/example/index.htm
If you look at page in IE8, I think you will see your navigation links without the white block. I just looked at your page again and I am still seeing the navigation ID. You try detaching your template from the page. I think DW templates are a bad idea; they cause all kinds of problems.
If my link works and yours doesn't, compare the code.

DW4: FLV Video Showing as White Box

I am trying to read through all the past posts, but need to get this out to a client quickly and haven't yet found an answer to my issue.
I had an .mp4 file that I converted to .flv using Media Encoder. I inserted the .flv file per instructions. I now have the .flv file , along with the clear_skin_1.swf file and the flvplayer_progressive.swf file in one folder. The expressinstall.swf and swfobject_modified.js files are in the scripts folder. I have loaded them both to my server. Upon viewing in browser, all I get is just the white box.
Here is the link: http://chameleoninteractive.net/clients/isca/isca.htm
Could really use the hold on this. Oh! and just ignore the video underneath...it is a placeholder and altogether different.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!

FLV video is showing as white box

Hi everyone
I am really puzzled here
I have converted video to FLV format and when I go into
dreamweaver 8 / CS3 I go to the top menu, select insert, then
select flash video
I select the file I am using
I then select auto detect for the video to be the original
window size
Then it inserts fine but when I preview in dreamweaver or
preview in HTML... I do not see any video or play buttons
All I get is a blank white box where the flash video was
inserted
Please can anyone help on why this is happening
Thanks

You have to use either a browser or an FLV player to preview
FLV format .
.you can't preview it in the tool itself. You also have to
upload the
supporting files .. my guess is that the one you missed was
the Scripts
folder and script that is placed in it when you embed the FLV
in the page.
