Eliminating fine lines around composited artwork

I'm using PP CS5 on Win7 x64.  I have a number of JPEGS I've imported into my project and placed on various tracks to composite them into the frame.  They're all on white backgrounds and the project is also set on a white background.  Everything looks fine in PP, but when I render the project (H.264, Youtube widescreen HD), a faint gray border appears around each of these JPEGS in the final video.  You might be able to see it in the image below.  Any idea how to eliminate this?  I thought of converting the JPEGs to GIFs with transparent backgrounds, but that would take a lot of time, and I figure this shouldn't be happening anyway.  Thanks for your help.

Thanks, shooternz.  The BG currently is a white field created in Titler with the fill set to #ffffff.  When I sample the JPEG with the eyedropper (from the image on the Program monitor), it's remains #ffffff.  I know it's responding because I can sample other areas and it reflects those values.  Looking closesly at the JPEG and background, they appear to be the same color on either side of the border; it's just the border that's being highlighted.
Anyway, I rendered a sample for every blend mode that didn't obviously mess up the JPEG.  A couple modes (Pin Light and Hard Light) eliminated the border, but amplified the jagginess around the edges of the JPEG.
Looks like I'll have to go with transparent GIFs.  Less trouble than making alpha channels.

  • Fine line around placed object

    I have been trying to place an image into photoshop cs6. This image however has a white 1 pixel outline around the border. It is very annoying and I can't seem to eliminate it so it doesnt affect the background colour. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Can you post an example and give us your OS and hardware info.  What kind of image file are you placing. Is it larger then the canvas its being placed into. I have never seen an 1 px border when I place in images?

  • 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).

    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.

  • Annoying white line around artwork

    There's a strage thin white line around a black artwork, it's easier to see it with red background.
    It's hard to see it so i zoomed in.
    Here's the Appearance panel with this object selected:
    How do I get rid of it?
    Illustrator CS5
    Windows 7

    Set your black artwork to either:
    Overprint and view in Overprint Preview or Multiply (in Transparency).
    That way you won't see the white lines.
    On the other hand, although they won't show up in print, those white lines (when viewed in CMYK preview) can sometimes be a useful indicator that an overprint is required.

  • Drop shadow on eps shape produces fine line when inserted into InDesign and PDF created.

    Hi I am having a few issues with an eps file that I have created. Basically it is a eps file with shapes, a gradient and a drop shadow on the outlined text - created in illustrator.
    All looks fine until I take it into Indesign and create a pdf. I then get a line around where the drop shadow is. Zooming in doesn’t make it go away, but it also does not change its size.
    I have done some research and tried one fix (have the drop shadow as another object using multiply as the opacity) this did not work.
    Anything else talks of spot colours (there are none) or just having view ok on the screen (take off smoothing). But none of these are fixes for when I send this image to my client. I also tried saving as different pdf formats but this also does not work.
    The only way I can make it go away is to save the file as an illustrator ai file and use that for pdfs. This would be OK, but other suppliers need to use the file and want eps format.
    From what I have read, it seems to be a screen artefact and so theoretically should not appear when printed. But I do not know this for sure and I hesitate to send it to the client as it is.
    Has anyone seen this before? And are there any fixes (e.g.: treating the drop shadow differently)?
    Thanking you in advance.
    Cheers
    Nikola

    EPS is simply unsuitable when dealing with transparency (which is what your drop shadow is). So you need to work with AI for placing in InDesign. If other suppliers need EPS, then just send them that. Nothing should keep you from exporting another file format.

  • 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.

  • Fuzzy horizontal lines around characters

    I'm also having a problem with the images I'm capturing. On the LCD screen off the camera the image looks fine, but when I'm capturing there are fuzzy lines around the subjects in frame.
    I've put the clip in the time line and changed the interlacing (from none to odd or even) and this seems to have fixed the problem, but I'd like to fix the problem altogether. Any thoughts?

    As Andy indicated, you may be seeing the effects of viewing a normally interlaced TV image on a progressive scam monitor. Before you go to all the trouble of deinterlacing (and thereby reducing the resolution of your footage), see what it looks like on a TV monitor.
    Of course, if you're final output is for web or CD-ROM delivery, then by all means, deinterlace!

  • White lines around figures

    Captured ftg from DVD created from digi-beta from original 35mm film. Editing a 4 minute trailer but certain clips (30%) show short curved white lines around heads, figures, etc. Sort of like zebra but not? One clip has first frame with horizontal white lines top to bottom. Same clip shows up as green screen in QT file I made. Also a few freeze frames for a second or two. 70% of trailer is fine. Thought maybe the capture had wrong settings?

  • How can I remove the line around interactive elements?

    Hi guys,
    I'm just doing some fine tuning for version 1.1 of our iBook. For that I would like to remove the fine line that iBooks Author puts around interactive images. Any idea how I can do that? Nothing seems to work for me.
    Thanks!
    Alex

    Ah, 'under' not number...
    I should try to read the post ;-)
    Skinning would be an option, but I'm not sure if it is available in 10gR3.
    One other solution would be to use an image link instead of the text link. More work because you have to build the images yourself and it's hard to use dynamic text this way.

  • Black Line around thumbs

    Any idea why I am getting a black line around rows of thumbnails. On a Mac/Intell CS3, latest update of Bridge as well.
    I can open fine, just curious about the black line.
    Thanks in advance

    This means that the cache and/or preview has not build itself. Try the purge cache for folder using tools - cache - purge cache for folder.
    Depending on the number of files it takes less or more time to rebuild. See also the info down left in the window. This shows the number of files visible and hidden, and if building cache and preview the two arrows are acting like a spinning wheel and also a percentage is showing how much work is done.

  • When browsing a new library that I created, the browser shows dotted lines around grey rectangles, no images. When I double click on a rectangle the image appears. How do I get images to appear in the browser rectangles?

    When browsing a new library that I created and exported onto an external hard drive, the browser shows dotted lines around grey rectangles, no images. When I double click on a rectangle, the image appears, but all the other rectangles remain empty - no image. How do I get images to appear in the browser rectangles? I am viewing this on a second computer (an older intel duo iMac), not the one I created the library on (a MacBook Pro). Both computers have Aperture 3.2.4 installed. When I return the external to the MacBook, all images appear in browser rectangles. What's happening on the iMac?

    You may have a problem with the permissions on your external volume. Probably you are not the owner of your library on the second mac.
    If you have not already done so, set the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag on your external volume. To do this, select the volume in the Finder and use the Finder command "File > Get Info" (or ⌘I).
    In the "Get Info" panel disclose the "Sharing & Permissions" brick, open the padlock, and enable the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag. You will have to authentificate as administrator to do this.
    Then run the "Aperture Library First Aid Tools" on this library and repair the permissions. To launch the "First Aid Tools" hold down the ⌥⌘-key combination while you double click your Aperture Library. Select "Repair Permissions" and run the repair; then repeat with "Repair Database". Do this on the omputer where you created the library and where you can see the thumbnails.
    Then check, if you now are able to read the library properly on your iMac.

    Way too complicated. If you want to change the color or style
    of the
    border, you have to modify the image. With CSS you can
    directly change
    the line style in a much easier and faster way.

  • Need to add a cut line around text with a stroke

    This has been driving me nuts for years and I've often found ways to "kind of" accomplish this, but I figured someone here might be able to help.
    Create text, convert to outlines, add a stroke. Ok now I want to add a cut line around that entire thing so it's dye-cut out on vinyl. My cut line is just a stroke with a color defined in my pallet. I can create 2 strokes, but I can't figure out how to get one to go to the edge of the other. I also tried duplicating the image, creating just an outline, but it's impossible to get it exactly outlined by hand.
    If I'm not explaining this right, please let me know.
    So there I have the text, converted to outlines, white fill and gold stroke. I need to be able to dye-cut this. If you add a new stroke, it's on top of the old one. Basically I want to add a stroke, to the stroke, but only the outside.
    Thanks in advance!!

    Thank you Larry. I kind of followed what you said but I think there's some steps missing here?
    I'm glad you showed me how to create additional strokes without creating outlines, I was never clicking above "character", I had to click above it to add a new stroke, if you have the text selected, it's greyed out.
    Ok so I created a new stroke, then selected it, went to FX > Path > Offset Path. I chose 0.02 (closest I could seem to get, but not perfect, ok in some areas, bad in others), miter joins set to 4? Are those the same settings you used? You didn't tell me how much you offset yours. Then I selected the offset path stroke and went object > expand apperance, but it didn't seem to do anything? It just removed the offset path FX option on the stroke? This is where I'm pretty confused. Why even do the step after the offset, couldn't I just stop there and print?
    After adding a stroke and offsetting
    After selecting Object > Expand appearance.
    As you can see, like on the C. There is a gap between the cut line and the stroke at the top, but there's no gap on the left side, but there is on the right, and there is on the bottom as well? If I printed this, I would get white fill, gold stroke, and then another white stroke basically.
    Thank you for your patience, I'm self-taught but over the last 4 years of using it every day I'm still learning new tricks!

    I turned on Bold Text - the phone will restart itself, that's normal - and it is now MUCH easier on my eyes.
    Give it a try.
