Can't get rid of EMPTY area around image

I am on Windows, as you can see there is SOMETHING around my images and no it is NOT whitespace. They are all saved as PNG's and whatever whitespace they had was removed using inverse selection. Whenever I drop these images onto a black canvas, I see nothing, but for my specific purposes, there can not be ANYTHING but the actual image. The image's actual border is important.

Please help.

Photoshop always saves images as rectangles. So for irregular shapes, even with transparency, you will have a rectangular image shaped canvas.

You can minimise the size of the rectangle with Image>Trim

A readout of the seven points indicated above are identical: Lightness of 100%, Neutral gray.

Is the difference you referred to actually an illusion?

Do the Lab Color values of your original art vary?

Post the ACTUAL files so we can look at them.

The area around the gray bar displays the checkerboard pattern denoting total transparency. Any color surrounding the gray bar that you may see is the color and tone of the layer beneath it.
