Quote - When I render this figure it has a white pixel all around the edges of it , when I take it to PSP.
I have tried selecting it and deleting but for some reason it still appears.
I have also tried rendering on a black background with no change to this white pixel area.
It sort of seems like this area is maybe transparent to a degree because if I put say a dark blue background behind the figure (or character)  then that color is showing around the edge.

I am at a loss as to what else to do. If anyone could help me I would really appreciate your
help.

I get this same problem sometimes. It doesn't happen all the time even with the same model I usually don't let it bother me because it's an easy fix in Post Work.  But here are a few solutions that have worked for me.

1. Start over just in case it's something wrong with the file.  I don't do this often because I save multiple copies just in case there is some kind of file corruption.

2. Change the lighting slightly. Things like moving the light slightly or moving it and then putting it to the original position have also worked for me.  Normally I'll do this first to make sure that there is no file corruption.  If I get the same outline after moving the light to a different position then I know it's the light setting or position that is causing the problem.

3. In the postwork phase before you add the drop shadow, use inner glow on the image and set it so that covers just the white outline. This will create a better blend and you won't see the white outline when you add the drop shadow.  THIS WORKS 100% because it's postwork.

I would try #2 and #3 first.  #1 is kind of an extreme solution.  As for why it happens the closest that I've found was related to the light settings and position where a light is creating a glow on the figure, When the light that is creating the glow is moved to a different position then the outline disappears.
