Paint Bucket leaves thin unfilled lines around brush work

sorry for such a basic question:
When using the paint bucket tool to fill a closed space drawn with the brush tool there is a thin unfilled halo around the brush lines. How can I fill the space entirely, up to the edge of the drawn lines? 
thanks

  • Why & remove: thin black line around new image?

    Hi there.
    PS CS3 (10.0.1)
    Why does PS automatically make a thin black line around any new image and how can I set PS not to do this?
    You can please have a look here:

    Thank you for replying to my question.
    You are 100% right ... I have made the canvas a bit larger and there is no line.
    BUT, why is there a line around the image when viewing in a browser? I dont' want it there and this is the first time I have this problem.
    Thank you for your time & help.

  • Thin white line around black .ai logo and drop shadow question

    Hello,
    There's a very thin white line all around a black .ai logo I made when placed on a color background. It shows up in printing and acrobat (PDF % compatibility) too. Also, is there any way to get a transparent drop shadow (no white boxes) when saving as eps.
    Thanks
    Running OS10.4.11 In Design CS3, intel mac.

    Is the logo rasterized in Illustrator? It sounds like something was antialiased against a white background.
    >Also, is there any way to get a transparent drop shadow (no white boxes) when saving as eps
    No. EPS does not support transparency. If an area is not fully transparent (because nothing is drawn there) then it is fully opaque. PDF and AI support transparency.

  • Thin black line around mask when placed in Final Cut Pro

    After upgrading all to the latest version of the Pro suite, I'm getting a thin--pixel-wide-black line around my Motion masks when placed back in Final cut pro. Is anyone else seeing this?

    Try this:
    Open you media bin (F5) click on the "Media" tab at the top and find the "offending file". Click on the file and go to your Inspector-->Media. Under the "Alpha Type" drop-down menu, select "Premultiplied - Black" (or white or color) and see if that fixes it. I was having a similar issue with a white line appearing and this fixed it.
    Good luck.

  • 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.

  • PDF exporting with thin black lines around some images

    Hi there,
    I have spent A LOT of time making a custom SAVE THE DATE card and I cannot find a solution to this problem. When I am working in the document, I do not see thin borders around any of the images but when I export to PDF they show up. I have NO BORDERS selected for all images in the document and cannot figure out why they keep showing up after export. 
    I have attached a screen grab of what the document looks like when I am working on it, and another one of what it looks like after export. I am using Pages 5.2.2 and OS X version 10.9.5
    I need to order these SAVE THE DATES by tomorrow to take advantage of the 60% off! Thanks so much for your help!

    I am seeing this same problem in a family newsletter I've created.  The lines do not show up in Pages, but when I export to pdf (or print to pdf), the lines appear.  When I print the document, no lines appear.
    Here's what the top of the newsletter looks like - the black lines show up on all the pages, and in the beige-covered overlay, crosshatching is visible.   The template I'm using was in existence two years ago, but doesn't seem to exist in Pages anymore.  Would that have anything to do with the lines showing up?
    I also found this link, but can't apply any of the suggested fixes, since they apply to Adobe:  <http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/thin-white-dark-lines-stitching.html>.

  • Live paint bucket not including all lines

    I'm creating a map with different shaded regions and have tried several times but the Live Paint tool is not including all the lines. There is a large area that is showing up as a single region, and all the other lines included in that area that should be designating different smaller regions seem to be ignored. am I doing something wrong? Thanks to all responders.

  • 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.

  • Thin white outline around garbage matte

    Hi All,
    I have a problem with a garbage matte rendering with a thin white line around it.  Basically I've got 2 tracks of video.  The bottom track is green screen footage, but its not a very clean key and some of the center of the image is being keyed away. So I put a copy of the footage on track 2 and used an 8 point garbage matte to keep part of the image intact.  The garbage matte is keyframed throughout the clip.  For whatever reason the matte has a thin white line around it when the sequence is exported. I'm attaching a stillframe to illustrate the problem.  Anyone know why this is occuring?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I see no thin white line in that still image. Where am I supposed to be looking?
    Wait, okay, you could have been morespecific what to look for or that we really needed to boost the magnification.
    ONly visible when exported? Not visible in the timeline at the serquence settings?
    As suggested, a feather will blend the two layers a bit better but you might end up with a feathered thin white line, too.
    More specifics, what's the source footage format? What the sequence setting? What's the export format?

  • 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.

  • Cursor Change in Paint Bucket

    I’m getting a strange cursor when I use the Paint Bucket tool. Instead of the bucket with the pointy bit to show where you’re aiming, I get three tiny paint buckets in a horizontal line, looking a bit like a fragmented ruler, so it is impossible to see where the point of the paint  bucket is. I have used CAPS LOCK to get the crosshairs but would refer the nomal setting to be available too.
    I have shut down the PC and restarted with PS9 as the only app open but I still get this funny cursor. Some of the cursors from other tools are also affected, esp. when I left-click.
    Have I changed a setting by accident?

    Go to the control panel and check dpi scaling under Appearance or Display.
    It’s not uncommon to see a setting of 125% or higher to improve screen readability but PSE requires a dpi of 96 or 100%
    Whilst the Editor Menu will appear at 120% to 149% the Organizer Menu (and the advanced button in downloader) won’t. Sometimes the mouse or tool cursors are distorted.
    Try a setting of 115% to 120% otherwise use 100%. A common display resolution, notably for notebooks/laptops, and netbooks is 1024 x 768 but PSE requires a screen height of 800 for full functionality. If your height resolution is out of the range 768 to 800 try experimenting with the slider/settings.

  • Liquify thins out lines

    I used liquify in Photoshop CS5 all the time and recently upgraded to CS6. Now when I use it, on lineart, it thins out the lines, or makes them blurry.
    Here is an example, with the image on the left before it was liquified, and the one on the right after it was liquified. http://i.imgur.com/yAIL4iP.jpg
    Now when I go and liquify the lines after saving it as jpeg, instead of the individual layer, it retains the lines' thickness and does what liquify is supposed to do.
    Also compared the liquify settings from both versions: http://i.imgur.com/GscfD9E.jpg CS6 doesn't seem to have as many options as CS5 for some reason, but they both relatively look the same...
    Can't figure out for the life of me what's going on here, help? :/

    Thanks for sending the PSD.  It's starting to make things more clear.
    I cannot reproduce the problem here with your file either with Photoshop CS6 (or Photoshop CC 2014.1), which implies that the problem isn't systemic to Photoshop but a specific issue, possibly with the GPU driver on your machine (Photoshop CS6 was the first version to accelerate the Liquify filter in the GPU).
    A key clue is that your sketch is on a transparent layer.   There would be no transparency for Liquify to deal with if you flatten the document such as would happen if you work on a JPEG.
    Perhaps the transparency is somehow confusing the GPU-resident Liquify software on your particular system with your specific hardware and/or display driver..
    There is a way to start Liquify and run it only on the CPU, instead of in the GPU...  You could try it.  Hold the Alt key down (I guess that would be Option on a Mac) when starting Liquify.  You will see a thin dark outline around the work area in the filter if you're running it on the CPU and it may seem to run more slowly.  I'm curious whether this can be a workaround for you.
    Is your Photoshop CS6 fully up to date?

  • Coloring issues with magic wand tool and paint bucket tool, leaves uncolored areas near drawn lines

    Photoshop CS6 doesn't color properly.  Whetever I use brush tool or elliptical marquee tool to do the lines (with brush tool I use Hard Round, not soft), it doesn't color the whole area when i fill them with color. This happens with both magic wand tool AND paint bucket tool, there is always a small uncolored area near the lines. I have tolerance on 30,  and anti-alias, contiguous and sample all layers boxes checked. (this setting worked on my old CS3) I have tried tolerance from 0 to 100, no difference. I have also tried unchecking the boxes I just mentioned, still no difference. I hope there is a solution for this, because it is tedious to always go to the Select - Modify - Expand every time I need to color some area. So how do I fix this problem? I use seperate layers for lines and colors, like I have always done with other Photoshop versions. Even in school where they have CS5 those normal settings work.

    Hello Chris,
    I don't think this is a "user error". I think Adobe should be able to program a state of the art paint bucket, which is capable to get this done right.
    Other applications are able to get this done right.
    Please don't fall into a programmer's ignorance ("this is done right by definition") but listen to us artists and improve this unintuitive behavior. Add something like "ignore transparent pixels", because this doesn't even work if you draw on an empty layer.
    Thank you!

  • Thin white line between line art and live paint fill?

    I am using live paint to paint cartoon character illustrations.  The artwork is brought into Illustrator CS3 and live traced.  Then I convert it to a live paint group and use the paint bucket to fill.  Everything looks fine no matter how much I zoom in.  If I bring the AI file into Photoshop CS6 I can see a thin white line between the black line art and the fill.  This is most noticeable where black meets black. I can also see this sometimes in file previews while browsing through files.  If the white line cannot be seen in Illustrator is the file ok?  I did just upgrade to CS6 if that would make a difference.
    Thank you for any help.    

    If the white line cannot be seen in Illustrator is the file ok?
    Without knowing specifics,nobody knows.
    "Okay" for what?
    If it looks okay to you in Illustrator, then it's okay for viewing in Illustrator.
    If the export of it does not look okay in Photoshop at 1:1 or higher zoom, then it's probably not okay for whatever you're going to do with that raster image.
    If it's printed to a low-res composite printer, then it may be okay, because the printer may not be able to resolve the whitish pixels.
    If it's printed for commercial (color-separated) reproduction, it may not be okay, depending on the scale at which it will be printed, and on other considerations partially described below.
    The autotrace routine does not build traps. Typically, when you color-fill cartoon line art manually, you don't make the shapes that define the fills merely "kiss" the black line work, as would the default treatments of a stupid autotrace. The black line work typically overprints the fills, thereby creating printing traps.
    Suppose a portion of your cartoon is a hand-drawn closed circle. The black line work is irregular; it varies in width, having been drawn with a marker or a brush. The circle is colored in with a medium green. There are no sloppy gaps in the original between the green and the black.
    You scan it and autotrace it. Unless you apply some deliberate care to make it do otherwise, the autotrace is going to create a compound path, filled with black, and with no stroke; and a green simple path which (hopefully) exactly "kisses" (abuts) the black path. Adobe's on-screen antialiasing of the edge where the two colors abut may or may not cause your monitor to display a faint whitish or grayish sliver between the two colors.
    Similarly, Photoshop's rasterization of it, or the rasterization of a raster export filter may do the same, and may actually result in some off-color pixels along the edge. (Your description of the scenario kinda raises the question of why you are auto-tracing something that you're then just going to rasterize in Photoshop anyway. Why do that? Why not just work with the scan in Photoshop?.)
    So let's leave Photoshop out of the picture and assume you are autotracing it because you want vector artwork. You zoom way in to see if the whitish sliver enlarges. It doesn't, so you assume it's just an aberation of Illustrator's on-screen antialising. And then someone tells you you're in the clear. But are you? Not so fast.
    Let's assume the artwork is destined for commercial (color-separated) printing. Further assume the color of the autotraced black is 100% K, and the color of the autotraced green is 100Y 50C. Three inks involved. None of those three inks are shared between the two objects. So even if the paths do, in fact, perfectly abut, there is no "wiggle room" built in for the minor alignment shifts that almost aways do occur on press.
    Bottom line: Even if you do determine that the common antialiasing aberations that frequently occur on-screen in Adobe apps is just that—just an onscreen aberation, that does not necessarily mean your file is suitable for commercial color-separated reproduction.
    First, you need to understand that autotracing is not the one-click, instant "conversion" of a raster image to vector artwork that far too many think it to be. Just like everything else, you don't just launch a program like Illustrator, start autotracing things willy-nilly without understanding what's really going on. Just like anyting else, you can use an autotrace feature intelligently or...well...not.
    You have options. Illustrator provides an auto-trapping feature. Read up on it in the documentation so you understand what it's all about. Alternatively, you can expand the results of your autotrace, select all the black linework and apply a composite color that includes 100% K and reasonable percentages of C, M, and Y (a so-called "rich black"). Or,depending on the artwork and the desired results, you may consider doing the autotrace as centerlines so you have stroked paths, not just filled paths for the linework. That way, using the flood fill (so called LivePaint) will cause the auto-created fill objects to extend to the paths, not just to the edges of their strokes. Then set the linework to overprint.
    At any rate, if you are doing this professionally, you need to read up on the principles and practices of trapping and color separation.
