Question

Line around objects

A white line of an image has appeared in Photoshop that moves around with the mouse, except when reaching the top line controls, but returns when I take the mouse back to the image. How do I remove it?

I have tried reinstalling Photoshop but the outline is still there on all images, so it is not part of any image. I would take a screenshot but as soon as the mouse leaves the Photoshop page, the outline disappears. Please advise

Reinstalling does not reset Preferences, but before you do that, is this all the time regardless of what tool or function is selected?  If it was only with the Brush tool,  for instance, then resetting that tool would restore it to its defaults.

 

A full manual preference reset would be the way to go me thinks.

Let us know if that fixes it.  I am not sure where we'd go from there though.

You can try recording a short video or taking a screenshot using a smartphone, which almost everyone has nowadays. Without seeing what you are talking about, it is difficult to guess. I cannot reproduce the issue on my end, nor have I ever encountered a similar problem.

You can take a screenshot of the entire screen by pressing the Windows key + Print Screen (Prt Scr key).

Then paste the image in a reply. Click inside the reply box before you paste.
