    I’m using vegas5 and making a montage…..I bring my pictures onto the timeline of vegas…I match output aspect them, my problem is when i go to crop/size the pictures there is a white line on only one side of the picture like a border…the orginal picture has no white border showing before i scanned it…it didn’t do this with all my pictures but maybe 4 or 5 out of 70. I know i could zoom in and crop the white border out but the customer wants the picture full size. which of course doesn’t fill the whole screen up and shows the white border.
    I appreciate any help you can give………thanks, Gary

    How about if you simply trim off the white area in your photo editor? (Especially since it’s so few images)

    To me, it sounds like you scanned just slightly outside the image picture on the scanner.

    Or…. you could simply do a pan/crop to remove the white border.

    Thanks Edward for replying….The weird thing about the picture being scanned is the side of the picture that has the white border on it is not the side that goes up against side of the scanner…its the side thats not up against any scanner edge.
    Also thanks Liam for replying but the reason i didn’t do a pan/crop because the client wanted to see the whole picture without losing anything and without panning.
    I will use my photo editor to trim off the white border….but was just curious why it did that on 4 or 5 pictures out of 70?

    Hmm… in what way is cropping in Vegas using the Pan/Crop tool any different to doing it in photoshop? You should be able to trim out that small white border using the Pan/Crop tool… and that seems (to me anyway) a little quicker/easier than doing it in Photoshop… but I am definitely prepared to believe that is just me.
