Strange 1px black stroke when placing objects

Hello there,

I have a weird problem. When i place objects, the black stroke appears.

I had a similar problem yesterday, but there was a white/semi white stroke around objects and problem was solved when i changed resampling method from Automatic to Bicubic Sharper (Reduction) via Image Size>Resample Method. This time no method helps, anyone imagine what to do? In original file (inside smart object) everything is perfect, no matter how much i resize it inside there is no black stroke, only when i place it somewhere else...

Correct answer c.pfaffenbichler

Then you may want to place them as two linked SO instances with Layer Comps (one for the object, one for the shadow).

The interpolation of the pixel’s color content and the transparency can in my experience produce unwanted results when the transparency combines relatively hard edged areas over partially visible ones.

Hi

From your screenshot, the stroke only appears to affect one direction from your objects so I wonder if the artifact is coming from the drop shadow.  Is the stroke still there if you turn the drop shadow off ?

Does Preferences >Performance >Use legacy compositing make a difference?

Yes the problem is only in shadow area. c.pfaffenbichler was right. When i place them both separately in one file problem is solved

The only problem is, that i have like 500 or 600 objects in one huge file and the preview file would get huge for that much layers (even now it requires 12GB RAM just to open), but it is still way better than using smart objects.

Ant Use Legacy doesn't help.

I think you should not stop using the Smart Objects, but use two instances of the Smart Objects utilising Layer Comps, which one can select in the Properties Panel if they exist within the SO.

    Are object and shadow one image?

    Yes, one image. But in smart object they are separate, shadow is extracted.
