Question

Images have a lighter 1-pixel edge when reduced and flattened. (Image Processor Pro)

I have product image files that have several specific layers. Item/Shadow/Background.

I am using Image Processor Pro to accomplish the following steps:

- Save image as 500px wide with black background as JPEG - append file with _500px.jpg

- Save image as 500px wide with transparent background (layer turned off) as PNG - append file with _500px.png

- Save image as 2000px wide with black background as JPEG - append file with _2000px.jpg

- Save image as 2000px wide with transparent background (layer turned off) as PNG - append file with _2000px.png

- Save image as full resolution with transparent background (layer turned off) as TIFF - append file with _FullRes.tif

The file size reduction is happening inside IPP Pro.

On save, the JPEGs have a light gray 1px edge on them. The client is complaining about it.

Everything here is handled through actions. One specific action for the PNG, for the JPG, and for the TIFF, and then a separate action that combines those three into one master action that exports all my flattened images in the proper sizes and formats.

Any ideas?  Thanks!

    It could be due to how Photoshop resizes. It gives rectangles a one-pixel semi-transparent border, unless you resize using "Nearest Neighbor". TIFFs and PNGs support transparency, but JPGs do not, so the semi-transparency would become gray.

    Perhaps.

    The odd thing is, it wasn't happening when using the same actions a few years ago. This manifested itself maybe 6 months ago.
