|
|
i used the "magic wand" tool to take out the white backgrounds behind a few polaroid images i'm using on my friend's website and there seems to still be a white line still. it's very thin and almost unnoticeable, but you can see it as you scroll through. check out his site and go to the "life" section and you'll see what i mean on the polaroids as you scroll.
my possible reasons behind this are:
1) somehow the "drop shadow" effect creates the white line?
2) in my code i used borders and on the polaroids i set it to no border, and somehow this make there still be a white box around it?
any ideas here? thanks! |

You may want to feather your selection to about 15 for low rez and 30 for high res, depenidng on if your image is big in width and length enough for it. Or your image isn't high rez enough, that's maybe why you are getting lines. A TIP: Scan your images in at 300 dpi (DOTS PER INCH) or higher if you want to enlarge them later. make sure you are veiwing your image at 25%, 50% 75% or 100% to see if the lines dissappear because if you are at something like 64.5% then photoshop has to redisplay the art work THE BEST IT CAN in order to make it look good on your screen for your eyes.
Hope that helps! _________________ Qubert |
