Mysterious 1 pixal Line between underpants and shirt

Hi all, I have searched the threads and cant seem to find any help on this problem

Using photoshop, I've created a shirt and placed the tucked in portion of it on the underpants. The texture on the shirt goes all the way to the arm portion and the texture on the pants goes all the way to the top of the template. However, when I apply them to the shirt/underware there is a fine one pixal gap between the two. I see outfits that use the same technique and there is no line.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

It can be very difficult to get a flawless match between an upper body texture and a lower body one. I've found that it's hardest when I have a dark-colored texture to work with, for some reason. On dresses with this problem, many designers give up and add a prim belt or a bow to cover the %^*&! line.

Go into Appearance and be very sure that the slider for shirt length is set at 100% -- as long as you can get it -- and that the underwear waist is as high as you can get it. (Actually, I'm assuming that the waist on the underwear layer is the same as on the pants layer. I haven't ever checked, because when I have matched an upper- and lower-body texture I have always used the pants layer.) If you are very lucky, the solution might be just that simple. If not, practice cursing. ;)

It's an SL glitch. If you use the jacket layer instead of the shirt or undershirt layers, you won't get the line. You can either put a clear texture on the bottom half of the jacket layer or your pants texture. Either works.

There is a step I do that seems to work for me.

After finishing your shirt and pants do your alpha channel as normal.

Then before saving and uploading add one more layer to your design. Add a solid black or whatever is your shirts/pants primary colour is as the bottom layer and fill your entire template with it.

What you should be seeing is a solid black (for instance) background and your shirt/pants design sitting on top of it.

Save and upload as normal. I never have a seam problem doing this.

That's one of many ways to deal with the white halo problem that some people run into. The problem the OP is talking about, though, is different. It's not a halo, it's simply a slight mismatch between clothing layers. I think Betty has the solution exactly right.
