Hello everyone,

 

So i'm fairly new to using the motion and timeline part of photoshop but created a fairly simple GIF with transparrency and when i post it against a dark background it's left with a untidy white outline that i'm not sure how to remove/tidy up.

I have tried making the edges tidier but removing any blur but that seemed to make no difference.

As i said, i'm fairly new to this aspect of photoshop, so i may have missed something blindingly obvious.

Any clue on what i need to do?

Thank you in Advance!

The most effective means is to remove a white boundary is to open up the gif in Photoshop as well as take a look at each private photo in the gif. Seeing to it none have the white border; you then wait as a gif with openness. Constantly examine the "transparency" box if you don't want a history.

Hello,

This issue is typically due to a fringe left from the transparent edges of the GIF. Here’s a solution you can try:

  1. Matting Techniques:

    • Go to Layer > Matting > Defringe. This will remove the unwanted white edges by blending them with surrounding colors.

    • If the first option isn't sufficient, try Layer > Matting > Remove White Matte or Remove Black Matte depending on your specific needs.

  2. Feathering the Edges:

    • Select your GIF layer and go to Select > Modify > Feather. Enter a small value to slightly blur the edges, making them blend better against any background.

  3. Manual Touch-Up:

    • Use the Eraser Tool or Smudge Tool on the edges of your GIF to manually clean up any leftover white outlines.

These steps should help you achieve cleaner edges for your transparent GIF on a dark background.


Best Regards,
James Goff
