Question

White lines around layer mask

Hi i am designing my cv in the photoshop.I am having an  issue with masks.

When I save the file to the pdf and open it looks all fine but when I open the same file on my phone it shows thin white lines around the layer masks and it does the same when I upload to my potofolio website.When I flatten the file then those lines disappear.But i dont realy want to flatten it as it effects the visibility of the file.

Anyone know how can i remove these lines.

Any help will be much appreciated.

(These white lines only appear on smaller screens.)

Thanks

Did you try saving a PDF X4?

    The correction is as easy as erasing the edge using the ERASER tool on the background OR just painting the edge black on the layer mask itself.

      I don't think it's quite as simple as that.

      This is probably a display scaling artifact from not showing the file at 100%. The same thing is seen in some other circumstances, like e.g. mask edges in panos. It will disappear at 100% view. It will also disappear when flattening (which will obviously rasterize the text).

      You should really not use Photoshop for this type of thing. You should make it in InDesign and output a screen PDF from there.

        Could you please post a screenshot taken at View > 100% and with the pertinent Panels (Layers, Channels, Options Bar, …) visible of both an affected Layer on the Canvas and one of the Layer Masks?
