HELP Unwanted white lines/shapes appear when Brush tool is used

I have been using Photoshop Elements for several years and I really liked it.But just recently I found out that in Photoshop Elements 10, whenever I use Brush or Smart Brush Tools, unwanted white ines/dots/shapes appear on the pictures. This is driving me crazy! What went wrong?? I've done the following:
Reset all preferences by clicking Ctrl + Alt + Shift
Reset all tools.
Restart my computer.
Nothing worked! Please help!!!
I have attached the original and the picturec problems below:
Original: very clean background
Problem: What are those lines??????

Yes I did solve the problem!
Thanks to everyone that suggested things, but none of them worked. In the end it was Wacom, yes... WACOM that solved the problem. Even though it was an Adobe Photoshop issue as far as I could tell. So thank you Wacom, you helped me when I needed it most.
So now to the vital solution:
"Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding pen tool in Adobe Photoshop CS3.
Please try the step below for reset CS3
For MAC, please hold pressing command + alt+ shift, then open Photoshop.
Get the CS3 update. Start CS3 while holding.
If the problem remains, uninstall and reinstall Adobe Photoshop CS3 again."
Worked the first time for me. So spread the word! This issue shall trouble people no more, a solution has been found!

Can i remove white line that appears in between 2 videos when i am using video next to video

can i remove white line that appears in between 2 videos when i am using video next to video

The easiest answer would be to just get a Friskars cutter or something similar. I have one like this that I use to cut my photos apart. I found mine at a Walmart in either the scrapbook aisle or the hobby aisle.
However, if you are determined to make a custom picture package you can try making a custom layout with a text editor. I know you can control the white space amount but not sure if you can totally eliminate it.
A simple text editor will work...notepad works for this on Windows...not sure what is comparable on the mac.
In PSE3, the layouts are found following this path Adobe<Photoshop Elements 3.0<Shared Assets<Layouts...note there is also a folder titled Layouts readmes which shows the formula to edit the layouts.
Here is a link that details how to create a picture package layout using a text editor:

Caution: Make sure you save your custom layout with a new name so you don't overwrite the ones that ship with elements.

The error message "No more virtual tiles can be allocated" appears when I try to use the effects in the quick editing mode in my Elements 13. The baton OK has to be pressed several times for loading all effect patterns. The error returns when selecting the particular pattern.
The problem does not appear, if PH Elements 13 is executed in the administrator mode.
The available computer resources are rather large enough: CPU INTEL i7 4 cores, 16GB RAM, 1TB HDD + 32GB SSD, Windows 8.1.
Please, advice how to solve this problem? Maybe, there is patch or updating available?

Dear n_pane,
Thank you for the quick answer. In the meantime I found other way to pass by the problem. I increased the cache level up to the maximum value 8.
The errors reported as "No more virtual tiles can be allocated" vanish, but I still do not understand, why PSE 13 cannot work properly by the lower cache levels, having available maximum resources it needed (10443 MB RAM and 26.53GB SSD space for scratches), or cannot collaborate with the fast SSDs properly.
I wish you all the best in the New Year 2015!

How to remove white line that appears on background of flash file when viewing in powerpoint?

When importing a swf file into powerpoint with a background colour a thin white line appears on the top of the flash movie when played in powerpoint. The white line disappears when you click onto another slide and back again, but always appears when initially playing the slide. Anyone have any ideas why this is and how to remove it?
Any help is appreciated.
Dom

Doesn't the Location Bar (URL's) also disappear in the Add-ons Tab? <br />
Separator or border used to delineate the User Interface (Toolbars) from the content area.
Contact the developer of Tree Style Tabs. If that white line doesn't appear until you click on a Tab, I would call it a Bug or glitch in that extension.

When I apply redaction, a white line partially appears around redacted area

I’m hoping you can help me figure out an issue. I created a redaction action wizard in Pro X (Windows 7 Ultimate) to change the name of the month for 280+ client reports. I use a new copy of the master file each month (the month always being redacted is "september", the month with the most characters).
The problem is that when I redact on a color background (using the matching color overlay), I get a fine thin white line that goes only across the top and right side of where the redaction box was (see below). Nothing across the bottom or left side – pretty close color match. The original files were created in Illustrator CS5.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you. I figured it out right before I heard from you. Running the OCR before the redaction made it work correctly.
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question.
Make it a great day.

Help! White line outlining image only in CMYK when placed from Photoshop into Illustrator/InDesign

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 lines around PNGs when exported to PDF

I am having the problem that imported images frequently have white bars around the outside of the image when the document is exported as a PDF. Looking at the two images currently affected I notice they are both PNG images. I fixed the image that was just rectangular in shape by just turning it into a JPEG as I did not require the use of transparency, but the second object is a different matter and I require the use of PNGs transparency. These lines are not present when in indesign normally.
The line is only noticable in one spot where a black rectangle meets the black background (only the top of the rectangle is visible against the black as one side is covered and the other side is out of the crop area) so I am not certain if this is the only spot it is occuring.
The line is not even a straight white line!
I have had this problem before with lines appearing around objects which should not be there, as well as objects not appearing as they do in inDesign, any advice for fixing this?

Ok guys I don't know what was wrong with my old TIFF image, but I swapped it out for a TIFF image which had a gradient fading from black to transparent as opposed to a straight black box and now the line is not there *shrug* it seems quite weird to me since I made sure the image was correct by cutting off the top segmant of the image where the trouble was.... but I dunno....
The exact same image in illustrator or photoshop showed up fine.. so I cannot understand what the problem was
EDIT: GAK!! its back on a new image I just put into the document same problem except it is on all sides of the black rectangle... *shakes fist* bah I will put another bloody gradient around the stupid thing....which by the way worked and the gradient was placed on the bottom layer so I dont see how it could be the image? I think this is proving that the problem is with acrobat (or saving from indesign) not the image...
NOTE: I would rather not post the files for various reasons

Unwanted white lines and boxes in PDFs viewed on ios

hello - i have been having some serious issues with creating pdfs for mac users.
on windows they look great - no matter what settings i use - however i have been getting feedback that on a mac there are verticle lines or thin white boxes around text within tables.
no matter what settings i try i simply cannot get the pdfs to look like they do on windows machines. i cant understand why they would look different!
i am using word 2010 and acrobat 9 pro.
i have tried toggling 'smooth images' - ensurting i have no cropped images on the page - i have tried just about everything.
if i print to PDF - the vertical lines appear. if i 'save as' PDF the vertical lines are not visible, however the white boxes appear around text. i cant win!
i would appreciate any assistance. if i cant get this to work i will lose this client.
thank you.

hello,
thanks for your response. i have uploaded two versions:
Print to PDF
Save as PDF
Print to PDF is when i print to PDF from Word. this results in the horizontal white lines as seen from page 2 onwards.
Save as is when i save as PDF from Word. this results in the boxes around text within the tables.
please note that my customer will not accept the fact that they use use preview as an excuse. they view many PDFs a day without these problems - in fact they can create their own PDFs from Word and they do not have these lines.
additionally, i have an iphone, and if you view these PDFs on iphone, you can see the lines. unfortunately many of their clients use iphones. so i really need to be able to create these PDFs without these lines.
i appreciate any help you can provide.
thank you.
Mark.

White console box appears when running dis51usr.exe

Hi all,
I have a user when she attempts to run Discoverer Desktop 10 either via shortcut or via command line by typing dis51usr.exe instead of the program opening a white empty box appears in the middle of the screen titled 'Console' and nothing else happens.
Any ideas?
thanks,
rg

Hi Clifford
The path looks right. On my PC, with Desktop and Admin, my path settings for Discoverer look like this:
%DISCO10%\bin; (171 files and 0 folders)
%DISCO10%\jlib; (53 files and 1 folder)
%DISCO10%\jre\1.4.2\bin\client; (2 files)
%DISCO10%\jre\1.4.2\bin; (62 files and 1 folder)
where %DISCO10% is c:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1
I can't see anything wrong with the path. This is very mystifying. I think you may have to speak with Oracle Support. Other than the Discoverer installation being corrupt with one or more files missing I can't think why you would be seeing a white console box. I'll keep researching and if I come upon anything I will let you know. To help I have listed alongside each of my locations the number of files and fodlers I have. If yours is different there is a possibility of a corruption.
Best wishes
Michael

Flickering Grey / White lines across browser when video/animation is being played

Hi,
For a while now i've been getting these flickering grey/white lines across my browser, usually only noticeable when a flash animation, video or embedded advert is being played on the page. I only ever seemed to notice it happening when using Google Chrome, and a few tips suggested disabling one of the Adobe flash plugins on chrome. This seemed to fix the issue, until recently it came back again.
I decided to try and reinstall Chrome, which is when i noticed the issue happening in Safari too, which made me believe that it wasn't a browser problem but my Mac itself.
The lines seem to appear quite intermittently and only when a video or animation is being played.
Another thing i should mention is that i've not yet noticed this happening when watching video directly from my hard drive, it only ever seems to happen when i'm streaming online e.g. youtube, netflix etc But with the likes of netflix, it stops happening when i'm in full screen?
I'm currently using a Macbook Pro Mid 2010, OS X Mavericks 10.9.3. I also had the Logic Board replaced under a year ago due to other issues.
I also use dual monitors, My macbook pro and a Dell 27" IPS monitor. The flickering lines appear on both monitors, so it shouldn't be a display issue.
Below is a link to a video of the issue i'm having whilst i was visiting youtube:
http://youtu.be/En9zFT1HQ6I
Any suggestions to fix this would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Marie

I have also been having this problem. I recently bought a new iMac to relieve this aging computer, and kept this guy as a backup. I wiped the computer and installed Mavericks, and this problem keeps coming up. I have almost nothing on this computer... which is why I have no idea why it's having issues. The extended hardware test also shows nothing. Also tried resetting PRAM/SMC, which seems to make it go away for a little while.
Before I reset and upgraded to Mavericks, I was having another weird graphics issue where things would fragment and freeze either momentarily or permanently until I restarted. This mostly happened while I was using Skype. I brought it into the Apple Store several times but they apparently could never re-create the problem... I have a feeling these are related. I'm afraid the graphics card is failing and of course the warranty has run out.

Why do I get white lines surrounding transparencies when exported as a PDF for print - Indesign Vers

Why do I get white lines surrounding PSD or Tiff transparencies when exported as a PDF for print - Indesign Version 9.2?
I recently upgraded creative suite - now I am having issues with white lines surrounding any tiffs or PSDs when exporting for print.
I initially thought it was an acrobat viewer problem, but it seems to be effecting print. Please let me know if anyone knows the answer to this problem. thanks!

PDF settings? Flattener settings? Overprint and trapping settings? You need to be much more specific. Eitehr way, ask in the ID forum.

How to eliminate lines which appear when a tile is repeated in photoshop cs6?

I'm using photoshop cs6 to create textile designs, and occassionally, (it hasnt happened with every tile) when i change the image size of my tile e.g. from 15cm sq to 10cm sq, then try to repeat the tile it forms thin lines between the tiles?
heres the tile repeated after ive changed the image size and you can see the thin lines...
when i zoom in on the tile edges where the line has formed it looks like this....
almost as if theres empty pixels that can then be coloured in.
i dont think its a problem when creating the tile because before i changed the image size it repeated fine with no lines, its something thats happeneing when the image size is altered.

As Bruce said in post #4 the lines in the OP's question look very much like anti aliasing, but they might also be sharpening artifacts. So, if these lines appear as a result of resizing the image, then the obvious question is which resize method is being used? Preserve Details when upsizing might do that for instance. (I do hope I haven't upset Chris Cox by misrepresenting Preserve Details).
So the question is, if you make the tile at one size, and try to use it at a larger size, how is the tile being upsized? In fact I am not even sure that you can change the size of a custom pattern without redefining it. Anyone?
