Question

Feather image border when resizing mask

Sometimes when I resize image with mask, there is slightly visible border caused by feathering border of mask and it could be printed if not carefully reviewed.

I still don't know why it happens, because it doesn't happen in every image. 

Does anyone know how do I prevent this? What is the reason?

    It's due to anti-aliasing when the edge happens to be in the middle of a pixel. If it's an option - you can convert the layer to a smart-object before transforming which normally doesn't cause the issue. Otherwise you will likely need to modify the mask post-transform to fix it.
