Getting rid of white border around photos when using iphoto to iweb

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The link to the site is broken. There is a fix for some of the strange goings on since the MobileMe conversion. See Wyodor's post in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1605665&tstart=0. After applying the fix to iWeb I found I might have to republish a second time, occasionally a third and make sure I cleared my browser's cache.

If you're using Firefox 3 that's a different solution that can be found here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7486799#7486799

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

I am also getting this same white box on all my blog pages. And I noticed it after the MobileMe update. My site is:

http://web.mac.com/paulhewitt/PET/ParetoExplorer.html

This box is the size of the original blog page content height and width when the page is created. I modified these in the Page Layout inspector. So, there seems to be a bug or code left in the page that creates this white box. I'm also getting a missing image icon in the middle of this box on the published pages.

If some one could help figure this out, we'd all appreciate it! I have people viewing my pages wondering how an Apple application could have errors like this : > )

I also have photoshop elements and have been having the same problem there.

Photoshop Elements does not put any kind of border around your images unless you put it there. Are you sure that your actual file (canvas) is not bigger than your image?

iPhoto does not add anything to a photo unless you direct it to - I'm not sure what you are seeing but if you import a photo into iPhoto and then import that photo from iPhoto to iWeb there will not be a white border around it unless there was before you imported it to iPhoto or you added it by editing after it was in iPhoto

Kim:

That's done by iWeb. When you get to iWeb click on the photo and bring up the Inspector/Graphics pane. There you can take off the border and stroke or add different frames. There's quite a bit of enhancements that you can do in iPhoto.
