Remove the white border?

[AlotLikePsyche]

Do you know how I can get rid of the white border on a photo I cropped? You may not see it here, but when I insert it into a doc, there is a white border around it that I don't like.

Is it an actual border or just (white) space between the pic and - say - text?

If you right-click with your mouse on the pic it should open a box with options to adjust certain settings/specifics, including the border (from 'no border' to specifying the thickness and colour). I think the (white/blank) space area around a picture (in a document) can also be specified there.

Hi. Thank you for the help! I think it's just white space that was created somehow when I cropped it. It's part of the actual photo now, not a border.

You used Photoshop, right?

In photoshop, you have to resize the canvas as well as the image.

I don't use Photoshop for cropping and resizing so I can't walk you through the process there. Try cropping the picture in some other photo-editor -- Adobe's photoshop and photodeluxe are the ony ones I know of that separate the picture size into image and canvas.

If you don't have another photeditor, download irfanview; it's free, fast, and can read Photoshop's native format if the orignal is in that format.

Yep. That was it. Thank you, thank you for helping me with that. It was making me crazy.

No problem. I suspect that PhotoShop makes a lot of people crazy. PhotoShop is a great program for advanced phot editing, but it makes the simplest things complicated.

The simplest way to crop a photo is cut and paste.
Use the selection tool to get the desired size, Copy it.
Then go and create a new image (photoshop at least automatically sizes it to the data on the clipboard, as in what you've Copied) and then finally paste it into the new image.

Simple and effective and aside from the selecting can be done in 3 shortcuts, Ctrl C, Ctrl N and Ctrl V.

You can even resize the image afterwards if it's a little too big.

I've actually been known to repeat this process a few times if it's not quite the right size, and you can actually set the selection tool to an appropriate size.

Maybe in PhotoShop, but Irfanview, Paintshop Pro and MS Photeditor, and many other photo editors it's much easier to just select the Crop tool, select the section of the picture to save, and double-click inside the selection -- total time maybe five seconds.
