OK for the past couple weeks I have noticed that the area on a sheet of wallets that should be white (there is nothing there) is now a light gray. This would be the half inch are out side the wallets that would complete an 8×10 size print (that make sense?). Monitors is calibrated w Monacao Optix and I am using an Epson 2200 and InkPress Lustre paper with their ICC profiles, Epson inks. The skin tones and colors look great and no matter what I do to the image the gray in the bordering area is the same. I am wondering if I accidentally set some preference. My forground and background colors also don’t affect it.

Thanks in advance
David

Check the color of the background layer.

Background is black or white depending on or if I am playing w vignettes. Not a light gray, wondered that myself.

Just a thought. I really don’t think it would have an effect on the border. Open a photo, click Ctrl+L, click the far right dropper and make sure that the RGBs are all 255, although some perfer it to be 240.

OK all….the problem was the Epson printer software (image matching). I uninstalled it. Thanks a ton for the help.
