White edge on person like tv commerical - TBS

How to create white edge around person like TBS commerical I have seen? I thouoght that might help my project. My old co-worker videotaped person stand behind white wall (not even light). I want to make all white even. I use garbage matte to remove bad light background. It is so hard. I thought maybe some way like white edge around person like tv commerical. anyone know how?

I would use Shake, the masking tools are far superior to anything in FCP, but if that's not in the cards for you, use Motion.
You can easily do a garbage matte, then luma key him, then to fill in the holes, use the Matte Magic plugin to grow your matte to fill in the eyes/teeth holes, also, this should give you a line around him. Then if it gets too big, erode it down with a second Matte Magic.
If you didn't have Matte Magic, the answer would be to blur and threshold the matte, but you probably won't need to do that.

  • Print booklet - white edge problem

    Does anyone know why PDFs I've made with 'Print Booklet' always have a white edge on left side only?
    I'm trying to make a 2-up saddle stitch PDF from an A4 InDesign 12 page document with 3mm bleed. In Print Settings I select 'Adobe PDF 9.0' printer, 'Use document bleed settings', with paper size big enough to include A3 with a 3mm bleed all round. Yet I always get a PDF in the correct page size (303 x 426mm) with the bleed on every side except the left - which is just blank (3mm white edge).
    In the preview section of 'Print Booklet' it looks like the bleed is there, but mysteriously vanishes when output (it's as if either Acrobat or InDesign knows the bleed is there but omits the artwork in the left had bleed only.
    Any help much appreciated.

    In the Print Booklet
    In the Margins Section
    Put in the depth of the bleed all around.
    go to your print settings.
    Choose PDF
    Change the width to custom
    Add in the bleed amount in the page size.
    Then on the Bleed area insert the amount of bleed you need.
    Then say ok
    I just did it here and it worked just fine.

  • Borderless printing - trailing white edge

    I've far more experience printing from PCs than Macs (used to use QImage on those), and am well aware of issues like overspray/borderless extension settings to rpoduce borderless prints.
    Anyhow I cannot get a 6x4" borderless print to print without as trailing white edge from iPhoto - not sure if this is because there's no page setup menu option.
    When you click print, the first screen shows the photo filling the 'canvas', but if I print there's a 7mm trailing white edge.
    This white edge is also evident if I hit preview rather than printing straight off.
    I can print the photo from Preview/Lightroom with no problems with whta seem to me to be identical settings.
    Printer is a Canon iP5000.
    I don't think iPhoto is centering the image properly on the page as an equal amount of photo is chopped off the top.
    There's at least 1 other thread but no solution on that.
    I'll try the other printers to see if I have problems with those too.

    Did you ever get a solution to your problem? I was looking into another issue and saw your post. I use a Canon i850 printer and in the print preview window I get a white sliver at the top and right of the image. However, it does not print that way.
    Have you tried going to the Advance print menus and under the Paper Handling-Destination Paper Size menu section checked the radio button "Scale to fit paper size:"?
    Do you Twango?

  • Photo Montage Has (white edge) On Some Frames

    I use Memories on TV to make picture montages. Some times when I make a opening picture in Photoshop like a title or some thing. I get a white edge around two side of the first image of the slide show. I found a action one time that was to remove that. Does anyone here know where I can get this action or a different way to remove this white edge? Thanks

    if it doesn't show in photoshop, then it's not part of the image, i would think, and would be a function of the app you're using for the slideshow.
    I didn't find much in google but there seems to be a MOTV function called overlay which can provide borders? maybe its a setting in there...

  • Printing Photos with AirPrint to Epson Px730Wd produces white edge

    All,
    I have just bought a new Epson PX730WD and have a small problem when printing photos via AirPrint.  I always get a 3mm white edge on the right hand side of my photos.  Printing the same photo from Epson iPrint app works fine and it works from my PC as well, but using AirPrint via the native photo app always produces this white edge. Very annoying as I prefer to use the native functions when available, but cannot be doing with this edge.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Chris

    I have contacted Epson Support and they told me to try the iPrint app which I did and it worked fine.  So the problem seems to lie somewhere between airprint and the printer recognising what is being sent via airprint.  I can't find an Epson forum where these type of issues are discussed.  I was hoping someone else may have an tried airprint with a PX730wd to see what results they get.

  • White edge on black mask?

    I created a black rectangular frame size 720x480 about 10 pixels wide, with a transparent interior, as a Photoshop file, and used QT Pro to add it as a video track in a layer above a completely black video, also 720x480. You'd think the combination would yield a completely black video, but in fact there is a thin white edge of the inside of my black frame showing.
    The same thing happens when I just put a mask of a 10 pixel frame on the video itself. To keep QT from resizing the whole video in this case (because it loses the masked out portion) I added a solid black 720x480 still image behind the video. When my frontmost video has a picture, it plays OK surrounded by a black frame, but when the picture goes black, I still see a thin white rectangle remains.
    I tried exporting this as a MOV file and viewing it in iMovie, and I still see the thin white rectangle.
    Why the white artifact and any suggestions how to get rid of it?
    PowerMac Dual G5   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  

    I've noticed it since QT 6 with some of my skin track movies.
    It seems the default offset 0,0 (upper left corner) becomes 1,1 which would leave a one pixel line at the bottom and right side. Trying to adjust the offset on the track never worked for me.
    I ended up using a track dimension one pixel smaller for the "transparent" area.
    If you're trying to crop via a mask you'll be better served using MPEG Streamclip as the other poster has noted. It can work with .mov files, too.

  • Unexplained white edge on eps when placing into Illustrator (CS6)

    I'm manually stepping CS3 or CS6 generated eps files inside a master Illustrator file.  The EPS looks perfect when I make it, i.e. no white edge. Also when I close and reopen the EPS then view it- no white edge. As soon as I drag or file/place the eps file into an Illustrator file, the white edge appears.  This happens in CS3 or CS6. This white edge actually prints "as is".  Can't get rid of it.  See screen shot.

    Good morning Will,
    I tried placing ai files into my master imposition files this morning and all went very well.  Thank you again enlightening me on importing files.
    There is one file that I'm still having problems with, even using the ai import. This is the file that generated my eps white edge issue.
    When I bring the masked ai file into the imposition file I get about a 1/8" white area on the left and right sides.  And I noticed the file width changed from 8.75" to 8.8+.  So somewhere during the placing of the file a .25" edge is being aded to my incoming ai file.  I've checked my preferences and such and do not see where I could be adding white to the sides of my placed file. My masked file seems to be exact at 8.75".
    Also, I tried importing other masked ai files and all did well--- no white edges. I then created a new imposition file and the white lines appeared again on the masked ai file when I placed it.
    Now I think there's a problem with the original art file itself.  If you could offer any help, I'd greatly appreciate it as it would help me in the future if (when) this issues arises again.  
    I've attached my impo file, the original art file and the masked ai file I used for placing.

  • 4x6 print in PSE12:cannot crop thin white edge rt.side and bottom

    When printing 4x6 prints in PSE12, the print leaves a thin, white edge on the right side and bottom of the print. I have attempted to correct this through cropping, but the thin white edge remains. Computer is HP notebook running windows 7, printer is HP 7510. I should not have to cut the edge off the print to correct this. Please help!
    Thank you so much.

    Possibly a printer limitation. Check the printer driver for a 'borderless' setting and see if that makes any difference. Also check your photo paper size - 4" x 6" and 10cm x 15cm are often used interchangeably, but they are actually different sizes.

    Bring it in for service.  Anytime hardware test detects an error, that's an indication the service department needs to fix it.

  • Does anyone know how to get a white line across text like the USA basketball logo?

    does anyone know how to get a white line across text like the USA basketball logo?

    Draw the shape which is to be knocked out (a line in the example) in a layer above the logo. The colour doesn't matter because it will be made invisible.
    Double-click in the space to the right of the layer's name in Layers panel to open its Layer Style window where advanced blending can be modified.
    Set Fill Opacity to zero and Knockout to "Deep" or "Shallow" depending on whether the knockout should be limited to a containing Group.

  • IMac with Lion. I have an icon on the dock for Fluenz software but it has a white circle around it with a white slash through it (like the international "no" sign).  What does the circle mean?

    I have an iMac using Lion. I have an icon on the dock for Fluenz software but it has a white circle around it with a white slash through it (like the international "no" sign).  What does the circle mean?  The Fluenz software seems to work ok.

    Checkout the software vendor's website for updates:
