black outline around Photoshop image

[Picturemeister57]

I can't seem to remove this fine black outline from a vignette image. The image faded to white has the thin black parimeter line/box.  ---(I read the suggestion to go to properties>appearance>stroke... but my properties window does not have this 'stroke' option.

Hi!

Sorry to hear that you are having this problem! Can you tell us what version of Photoshop you are using? And, it would be really helpful if you could upload a screenshot of your open window with all of the panels visible that you are using such as layers, properties, Options bar, etc.

Thanks,

Michelle

Hi Michelle,  I'm running PS v. 21.2.1  ------(screenshot attached).  

My thanks,

Phil

*Here's another side question: I noticed here (as I've observed before) that the screenshot I attached is LARGE, over 7 MB here... shouldn't a screenshot be small? I would think they are by default a low compression 72 dpi jpeg.

Not sure what caused the border, but here's one thing to check:

Go to Preferences > Interface > Standard screen mode > Border, and make sure that it's set to None. 

As for your other question, the size of your screenshot is 1.1 MB, but the uncompressed size is 9 MB.

The file type is PNG, which is the best choice for graphics and large areas with flat color. (like the PS interface)

Jpg is best suited for continuous tone photographs.

Ppi is only used for printing,  has no effect on file size, and is irrelevant for screen viewing, where the image is displayed according to its pixel dimensions.

Pixel dimensions divided by ppi value = Printed dimensions in inches.

Hi Phil!

Thanks for the information and screenshot. What size is your document (in measurement, not file size)? Does your file extend all the way to the rulers? Or is that the pasteboard, and your document is just an inch or two around your image?

Hi Michelle,

Ahhh! - THANK YOU so much.  My ongoing problem of having that thin black outline around my PS images in now resolved.  You were correct with your instructions about pref>interface>border>none.  

My standard screen mode had been set at "line".   

I went through all four options there and made sure they all said "none".   --- Things work beautiful, thanks.

*I've had this annoying problem for some time, and have Googled and read other folks wrangling with the situation. The answers they were given (different from your answer)were not helpful to me.  

I hope they give you a raise.  🙂
