White halo around image

Hi there,
I have a font set to a large size 1065 pt as it's for a banner - however I am getting a slight grey white border around the image, kind of like a faint stroke but the stroke is turned off. Turning a stroke on matching my font colour doesn't help.
I have tried doing the font in a small point size to begin / converting that to outlines and then upscaling but the halo returns. I have tried exporting the design as a jpg and scaling down to sensible screen size and the halo remains all be it in reduced nature.
Any advice on how to avoind this as I don' want to sent the doc to print if the artefact remains even then.
Ta,
Al.

Thanks guys.
I think the black text halo is ok - I have attached a screen shot of the edge of a letter.
However I am seeing jagged edges on the pink abstract background.
Is this there to stay and will it be shown on the print?
For the record it is an Illustrator smudge shape scaled up with the artistic watercolour brush outline applied to it.
Noticably the screen shot which is my second attached example is direct from Illustrator print screen and this shows no jagged edge. Hmm at this size it's hard to see but it is there.

How to create image slice with transparent background without white halo around?

Hi, I want to make slice image with transparent background. I set the slice option background color to my background color. But when the image is on my html page set against the same background color, it has white halo around:
How can I get rid of the white halo?
I need the slice image to have transparent background and not have a color background because it's going on a rollover button with the background change. I don't want it to look like this on rollover:

>it looks to me like you built it with that "halo" to start with.
No, I didn't put in the halo myself. The shape is a character from the Webdings font. It's set to some darker fill color and set on a transparent background. Photoshop put the white halo there after "Save For Web".
> Make your graphic on a transparent background and Save for Web
I did exactly that, see:
I set the slice background to my color. I try the Matte option and come out the same with white halo.
It seems I'm not making Photoshop antialias to my background color, instead Photoshop just antialias to white.
What else do I need to do?

White halo around exported flash gif animation

I am working on a Imac using Flash CS5. I can create a Flash animation with a transparent background
but there is a slight white halo around the images. How do I export a Flash animation as a gif with
absolutely no white halo at all. Is this possible? or wheneve you turn a vector to a gif there will
always be a slight white halo. I have brought the image into Photoshop and could painstakingly
use the eraser tool but there must be a way to mass assembly the process. I have tried Fireworks CS5
and Photoshop, whenever I open the Flash gif animation there is a slight white halo.
Look forward to the techy with the answer
thanks

If your document stage is white and you are not viewing the GIF on a white or light background then the halo is probably due to the antialiasing of the pixels at the edges of your graphics. The GIF format does not support alpha transparency, so you end up seeing the smoothed edges as fully opaque pixels. There are several ways to address this:
Uncheck the "Smooth" option for animated GIF export. This disables antialiasing, but sacrifices image quality.
Change your stage color to better match the background color behind the GIF. Medium gray can be an acceptable compromise for non-uniform or unpredictable backgrounds.
Use another file format that supports alpha transparency. On the web, the only real alternative is SVG, but the conversion is painful.
Manually remove those troublesome pixels from the animated GIF. Also quite painful.

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).
> I've noticed
> that in tables, having nothing there is "bigger" than
specifying a zero.
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.

How do I get rid of faint white boxes around images?

Some files that I have printed have faint white boxes around images. The images were saved in photoshop with transparent backgrounds that seem to be showing up faintly in the final printed image. Does anyone know how I can get rid of this problem?

signspec,
What happens if you print from Illy?
Your printer (driver) may be overly helpful and performs a bit of colour management all by itself. You may have a look and disable any such management in the printer (driver) options.

White (halo) around gif image on the web

How do I get rid of the thin white border around my transparent gifs?

A tutorial describing the technique can be fond here:
http://www.photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/transparent/transparent.htm
(Description of problem posted by Mathias Vejerslev)
A GIF only supports 1-bit transparency - either full transparency or full opaque. - Nothing inbetween. So, if your graphics has anti-aliased (fuzzy) edges, Photoshop has to make those semi-transparent pixels either fully transparent or fully opaque (by removing them, or adding an opaque color 'under' the fuzzy edges. This is the Matte.
Creating aliased graphics (no fuzzy edges) eliminates this problem, but you´ll have a harsh-looking graphic.
Ways around this, besides the matte color and aliased graphics, includes copying your HTML background graphic into your transparent file, and make a custom, aliased Matte (edge around your graphic), then place the transparent file pixel-precise on your webpage.

White halo around black type

A thin white halo is showing up around my large black type and also around the black image I placed in the document. The background is purple so the halo is very noticeable. I tried a number of things to get rid of it:
-I rasterized just those objects and that made the halo worse.
-I took those objects out and tried replacing them in InDesign, but the halo still came back in the PDF.
-I made sure I was using standard black (K:100) and not rich black. No difference. I tried with PMS Black, and no difference.
The only thing that makes the halo go away is converting the file to RGB but I can't because this is going to print.
HELP!

excellent!
I think you can be confident your black text will print correctly.
I would talk to the separator or printer or whomever you can get in touch with to discuss the black artwork.
My guess, and this is just a guess, it that you may need a screen of the purple underlaying the black. This would be an added channel in photoshop.
If you have no idea who is printing the poster and have no contact with them, the best you can do is put a notes layer on your file: callouts indicating that you black text is set to overprint and that the art needs trapping.
I'm an illustrator, not a production artist, so I'm not your best answer source. If I couldn't talk to the printer in person, I would call one of my prepress pals for advice... which is about what you are doing here. Maybe one of our prepress regulars can help with this.
The purple appears lighter in Overprint Preview because Overprint Preview always attempts to render an accurate display of the color from its PMS Lab specification. You have selected an uncoated ink setting, so the Lab spec for it is somewhat washed out from what the coated version would be, so Illustrator is attempting to display that.
Are you actually printing your poster on uncoated paper?

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
Joe

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

White outline around images in pdf

Ok I've searched google for help and have not found any tips. I'm using CS4. I'm creating a document in indesign. I've placed some psd files into the document. In photoshop they are an object with a transparent background.
Now they look fine when printing and when viewing in indesign. But when i output as a ps from indesign, then take it into distiller it creates a pdf with a white outline around the image. Why is this happening? See attachement. Outline is on the bottom, it's a really thin line.
I do file print, select adobe pdf 8.0 then i pick the postscript option, then hit print to save the pdf. I've tried changing from CMYK to leave unchanged for color options. Please help!!!

Try searching for the term stitching. That should give you plenty.
In short, what you're seeing is the result of your archaic workflow causing the transparency to be flattened. The preferred and recommended method for PDF creation is through direct export, maintaining all transparency in the document.

Hairline white line around images in PDF for press

CS3, Windows XP
I searched the forum and didn't find this exact question, so..., I place PSD file in ID. When I export to PDF for the press run, I get a thin hairline white box around the photo. It only seems to happen when the placed image is over a gradient. It also only happens on PDF files for press run - either Press Quality or PDF/X-1a:2001. When I export to "Smallest File Size" it looks fine. I have the border of the image set to 0 and the color to None.
And it only seems to happen sometimes. A month or so ago I created a similar piece using different photos, but the same gradient background and it looked and printed fine.
Thoughts?
JAG

The stitching and a grey box was showing up on my press proofs. The printer suggested that I flatten the image before I send it to them.
Sometimes I see in on screen and sometimes I don't, but my printer says they see it every time and that it will show up on the proof. I've been trying several different PDF exporting options in ID. We are getting the proofs done correctly, but there's only one guy at my printer that can get the file corrected. I'm not sure exactly what he is doing, but one of the people I deal with suggested that he was opening the file in PS, flattening it again, and exporting to PDF, again.
He's the boss and not alway around, so I'm trying to figure out how I can get file exported correctly.
Thanks for your help.

Get rid of white box around image after image tracing to create vectors

White boxes around images

Hi, I know this is a basic question but it's causing me a lot
of grief.
When I place images on coloured backgrounds, they have white
boxes
around them. Is the only way to get around this to manipulate
the
image itself in photoshop? I've tried this but it still
doesn't look
right - there are jagged edges. Or I've tried giving the
image the
same colour background in photoshop so it blends, but there
is a white
edge. How do others handle this? Some expert advice would
really be
great to have.

If you are seeing white borders against colored backgrounds,
then this means
that the white is part of the image. There would be no way to
remove that
short of editing the image in your image editing program.

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.

White line around image

Hi everyone,
I keep getting a white line appear around images I save in
Photoshop and then insert into Dreamweaver. It happens when I also
save text with a transparent background. The text has a very faint
white line around it. Why is this?

Where are you seeing this, in PS? or DW design view or in a
browser?
When you insert your pics in an HTML page with 0 border, do
you still see
the border?
This is not a graphics forum. Adobe has a PS forum at

White border around images in Easy Rotator

I would like for there to be a small white border around my images when i put them into easy rotator. I really just want there to be about a 5 px space around them that is really just the background. I cant seem to find the right place in the code to make the div that holds the background color... which is white...to make it have like a 5 px padding..
or even make a 5 px margin around all images.
I even tried to place the border around my images when placing them in the rotator but the top still pushed all the way up and there was only the white space on the left right and obviously the bottom where the dots are that shows which number slide I am on.
Where in the code will I find this so I can manipulate it... thanks again for always helping
avery

Without a link, it's all guesswork.
Use Chrome or Firefox to preview your page. Right Click and select Inspect Elements. This should give you some idea of which CSS selectors are used by Easy Rotator.
