PS help. The edges create a (white line)/alpha fade out when Copying

I am having trouble with photoshop. I am trying to line up a texture and making each side seamless, but in doing so I have noticed that my photoshop (even with the layers flattened), no matter how good the photo is, when I copy, then paste it to a new template, the outer edges create a white line/alpha type edge. This is very frustrating, why is it doing this?

Thanks
Pia

I noticed it isn't the copy & paste causing the outer edge to "alpha" or whiten, but it's the resizing the image. Once I resize the image, I can't just TILE it (for a texture), because the outer edge is now white. I have to go back, clone, fix, etc.


Is there a reason the outer edge keeps doing this? It's like one pixel thick, that either alphas or turns slightly white when I resize in photoshop.

Hi Pia!

Try selecting all (Command/ctrl A) and Cropping (Image > Crop) before you resize. Yeah, it will look exactly the same, but it will let Photoshop know that you don't want any pixels, half pixels, or ghost pixels that you can't see in the image.

I can't tell you exactly why this happens, either, but I've found that Cropping almost always stops it.

Let us know if it works for you!

Hope this helps!

Thank you so much. I was shocked anyone even understood my problem.

Anything helps, I have been using "flatten" layer hoping that would help, because it seems to create that 1 pixel alpha on the edge. Hopefull this helps better.


TYSM.
