Removing white edges

Hello,
I have a picture that I have extracted from its background in photoshop. Then I place it on another background in my Indesign file. The edges on the picture appear as a fine white line.
Is there a way in Indesign to make the edges of a picture transparent?
Thank you

As a mere technical footnote to that, the white edges appear because you selected them to be white ...
GIF does not support alpha-level transparency (any level from 0 to 100%) -- it is limited to either transparent or not. Since GIFs are usually used on web pages, and should have visually smooth edges even with this on-off transparency, Photoshop can interpolate the edge colors. The Save-For-Web dialog (which you presumably used) has an option to change the "background color" -- which is the color on which the image would be placed. Those are stil solid colors, not transparent: the proper alpha mix of the would-be background and the edge color.
(And if you are thinking "That must mean I can change the background to the color I used in my document", go back and read Scott's message.)

How do I remove white jagged edges after making image transparent?

How do I remove white jagged edges after making image transparent? Is there a feature to help out with this?

It's a file format limitation. GIF supports 1 bit of transparency. That is 2^1 (which equals 2 total) levels of transparency. This equates to either NO transparency at all, or specifying 1 single color of the 256 total possible values to being fully transparent.
This will leave a very ugly fringe around the edge no matter what; it will only not be visible in color that match or are close to the fringe color; and then, that's a perception issue.
Try creating an alpha channel and saving the image as a PNG. That supports 8 bits of transparency, which equals 2^8 or 256 total different levels of transparency. This will let your image have very smooth edges with no jagged transitions.

Removing unwanted white edges from a checkbox (radiobutton)

Is there a way to remove the white edges of a radiobutton ( by making the edges transparant or something like that?)
see:
http://www.spymac.com/gallery/data/500/11225unwantededges.GIF
thanks in advance.

try to set the background color of the checkbox to the background color of the panel or frame you are using.
checkbox1.setBackground(getBackground()); // assuming you are calling this function in the parent panel or frame.
Hope that works.

ID 5.5 Interact. PDF, cannot remove white background for Multi-States and buttons.

Hi
I am working on an Interactive PDF Portfolio document. The problem I have is with Multi-State object feature with several buttons going to states that need to be exported as a SWF and imported back into InDesign 5.5. See, the background of my entire doc. is GREY, but when I import the SWF (as directed in Lynda.com videos correctly) and export the entire doc as Interactive PDF and view it in Adobe Acrobat Pro (version 10.1.1) is when all the trouble starts.
When I try to get rid of the WHITE background around the Multi-State objects and the buttons for them (using Select Object Tool and then control+click on it to change the Properties to Transparent Background Appearance) it does not change, even when I go forward and backward to the page.
Does the option of removing white background and making it transparent work only for Animation, but not Multi-State feature with buttons?
Can anyone suggest any other tecnique to create a nice slide show that works in Interactive PDF in ID CS5.5? Please..
Sincerely,
in need of help,
Eve

I have 8 Multi-State objects in one stack on the left and the 8 buttons for each state in the stack on the right. The background of my document is dark grey. There is space inbetween Multi-State objects and the buttons that show the grey background. But after exporting as SWF the Multi-States together with the buttons and placing the SWF back in the PDF file, the space inbetween Multi-States and buttons that is supposed to show the grey background appears white. The problem is that I cannot even change this white background to transparent in Acrobat Pro, as well. I used to do that to animations and it worked, but not in this case.

Can't remove white halo surrounding image.

Hi, everyone.
I've tried to clean some logos I need to use for web site pages but haven't really had good results. As I save the images as PNG to preserve the transparent background and place the images on my web page I can clearly see a white halo or silhouette surround the borders of the image. Just so that you understand my workflow this is what I have tried:
1. Open the image in photoshop.
2. Set background layer to a regular layer so I can remove the background color.
3. Choose Magic Wand. Set the sensitivity to a value between 50 and 120 to choose all background color which is white. Also uncheck contiguous so all the background color is removed despite its location on the image.
4. Crop image to close in on logo.
5. Resize image to a resolution of 96 pixels per inch and width of 120-140 pixels (height can vary according to the image).
6. Save for Web using PNG-8 as file format and the best quality available from the 4-up panel. In the cases I tried it translated to 256 colors Custom Palette and 0% ditter.
Result was disappointing as I expected a clean image for my web pages.
How can this be resolved ? What am I doing wrong ?
Does this have anything to do with the Save For Web command or is it related to something in my workflow ?
TIA

Hi, Chris.
Thank you for your replies to my post and the detailed explanations. I have now been able to produce good images that I can use.
Let me see if I understand this right. After an image is selected and the background erased, the matte or background becomes transparent. According to your comment:
> it only removes some leftover color contamination from the partially transparent pixels
the pixels can be partially transparent. From a reply posted to another thread I user described the differences between PNG-8 and PNG-24 in Photoshop. According to him Photoshop PNG-8 only allows pixels to be either fully transparent or fully opaque. Considering your statement about pixels being partially transparent, I assume then that erasing the background in a TIFF image will produce a file type that (similar to PNG-24) also supports partial pixel transparency as is the case with PNG-24. Is this correct ? What temporary file would this be (the one used by Photoshop until you decide to save your work) ?
So is this also safe to assume that defringe and remove white matte wouldn't work on PNG-8 images since these don't support partial transparency ?
And one last question: How does it work following your above explanation ? In removing the leftover color contamination from the partially transparent pixels, does Photoshop with either the defringe or the remove white matte tool transforms the partially transparent pixels and fully transparent ones ?
Just trying to understand the process so I can make better choices the next time.
Thanks again,
Joe

Newbie Problem, White edges when using colors?

Hi, I am new to illustrator, and this problem has been bothering me forever. I have googled beyond belief, but no answer. Maybe I am using the wrong terminology? Not sure. But overall, when I create things in illustrator, and use color, there are white edges around everything. Example below.
Also the colors I choose don't seem to be the ones that show up. Like, for the example above, I chose a deeper purple, but a lighter purple came out. I guess illustrator is A LOT different than photoshop.

well, i recently had something like that too.
I just couldnt figure out why it was showing up.
Untill i began looking at the layers.
It seemed that somehow some layers got duplicated and stuff.
So i recommend that you have a look at your layers and check for unwanted duplicates.

White edges on PDF page

Hi there. I am currently producing a newsletter and have found that, once converted into a pdf file, very fine white edges are becoming visible on the document. I have laid down on the page a few images and text boxes that bleed off the sides of the page, but still the programme insists on leaving these fine white edges.
Can anyone suggest what to do to get rid of these? I have tried high quality prints / low quality prints.. I am just at my wits end. This has happened to me before, so I thought I need to understand what the problem is.
Thanks,
Mike

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.

Photosmart 8750 - how to avoid white edges on print? And how to match colors from monitor to print?

Hi all! I´m new here so I hope I ask this in the right forum. Please advice me if this should be in another sub-forum..
First: The white edges around my photos when printed:
I can´t figure out how to avoid the white edges when I print my photos.
If I print in A3 size (or any other size) there´s always the white edges around my photos on the print, and it´s really annoying.
I make the size in Photoshop (CS4 extended) so that the photo matches the size of the printing paper, but still it gets adjusted when printing so I get the white edges.
I either print directly from PS or from Windows Photoviewer. (I have Windows 7).
In PS in the printing dialog box it says Scale to fit media, when I tick this and also have the Show Paper White ticked, it appears that the photo goes exactly as the size is set, but then I can see a thin white edge on top of it, illustrating that the photo will be printed with a white edge on top. If I untick the Scale to fit media, the photo appears to be cut a great deal before printed, so this will destroy my image.
I usually print from Windows Photoviewer as the colours in PS turns out more different than when saved and printed from Windows. (My next question). In Windows Photoviewer I only have the option Fit to frame, but in the preview it doesn´t look like any of those two options will give a borderless print.
In the printers dialoge box for the Paper/Quality I only use the option for A3 HP glossy photopaper, but I see there are other options such as Photo without edges A3, but then the size says 423x303mm which is slightly bigger than the size of the photo.
Also there´s a box to tick under it, Print without edges and under it Automatic fit without edges.
Is it something here I should tick or untick?
What options should I use to get it to print and fill the whole paper?
Second: How to get the same colours on my print as it shows on my monitor?
I have tried figuring out this, but I gave up. Though I know there´s something about the Profile´s, just not how to set them..
As already said, the colours looks quite different when printed directly from PS than saved as .jpg and printed from Windows Photoviewer. In colours the print is closer to the actual colours when printed from Windows than from PS, but BW photos is quite far from as seen on the monitor when printed, from both of them.
Instead of this nice warm "brownish" hue seen on my monitor, it´s printed with a greenish hue. Really annoying as I spend a lot of time working on my photos to get them as I like.
In the printer´s dialog box (in Windows) I have disabled the ICM colour management.
In PS dialog box I´m sure there´s something to do different under the Color Management, but I don´t know what.
Also there´s probably something different in my monitor´s profile that differs from the printer and PS?
Anyone who can help with either one or both of my problems??
That would be highly appreciated so thanks so much in advance!

HI Lisa91,

White edges on bleed...

I am getting white edges on the bottom and right sides of documents that have full bleed.
Please tell me how I can correct this.
Screen Cap:

Without full information as to how the PDF file was created including settings use for same, the workflow leading up to this point (I assume your screen display in of the document in Acrobat?), and other information about the document (including the current settings within the PDF file of the bleed and trim boxes) as well as your Acrobat preferences, there isn't much help we can provide here.
