I saved an image of a wristwatch on the Citizen site on the Internet as a JPG file. And this all went well. The image looks fine, but it has a fine blue vertical line running through the center of it.

When I opened the image in Photoshop, just for kicks I tried to remove the line. But, the line does not appear to be "part of the image" itself. Nothing in Photoshop will in any way affect that line.

This is strictly a matter of curiousity now, as the image is nothing I care about. But since it appears to be part of the image, what is goiung on? It’s hard to believe that Citizen put that line there for "security" puposes. The line appears to be less than one pixel at 1600% zoom, as it doesn’t change whatever the zoom used.

So now I’m curious. How does one put such a line in the image that really isn’t part of the image??

Ron,

Stupid questions time. Is the line present when you view it on web pages via a browser? How about in any other viewing program? What other programs? Got a link to the image?

Ronald,

The only thing I can think of is a "guide" in Photoshop. Do you see the line also on the internet? (e.g. with your browser?) A guide in Photoshop is not part of the image, hence it has’nt pixel width.

It can be removed with the View menu (uncheck show => guides)

bye, Rob

Rob,

That did the trick.

I went to the VIEW menu and checked "clear guides". And yes, the image was originally saved from an HTML page originally.
