For some reason my search term is blocked

[CaliRay]

Every image I save has a border (why is an innocent term like border blocked in search?). How can I blend or remove the border so it does not show up when I use the image?

Hi there CaliRay and welcome to PDN. 

 

Sometimes the search terms do not work really well on this forum. 

 

As for your other problem, if you are saving an image you made youself in PDN, it should not automatically give it a border.  I made two quickly and saved one in the normal way and another with a border.  As you will see ..... no border on one, and a border on the other. 

 

Of course if you are uploading an image that already has a border - that's a different story.  Then all you need to do is use the rectangle select tool and cut out the surrounding border.

Thanks for your help Pixey. I must be doing something wrong as your example clearly has no border.

 

Someone sent me their signature in a JPG. The signature was a huge image file with only a small portion being the actual signature, so I used the rectangle select to cut out the signature. Then I reduced it to a useful size using image resize. When I saved it as a PNG and pasted it into a document, it has a border.

That's likely a setting within the application you pasted the image into.

After you used the rectangle select did you then, whilst the rectangle select was active, and within the border you want removed, go to: Image and then: Crop Selection, which would then remove the black border?

Thanks for the search tip and the suggestion.

Yes. I tried this again. I tried inserting the image into a LibreOffice Writer page and there was no border. When inserting it into a Google Doc file, the image has a border.

Ahh - @EER was right!  It's not PDN but it's the Google Doc file that's causing the problem.

 

I too thank @EER for the Search link - I didn't know about this myself

Odd never heard that from a male before. My male supervisor used to say, "I was wrong once but I was mistaken."

Of course he is.
