hey guys. I fudged up something terrible here. as you can see from th3e above screencapture, I got a white border around this guy. Okay, getting rid of it is no problem, I'll just erase it by hand... problem being, this is one frame out of 60+ frames... basically, I'm hoping someone can recomend some steps that can be repeated in an action...? the white/greyish border is the only colour of its kind in the man (the black background is just a filled layer to show the border, which is VERY visible in the animation), so I'm wondering if there's a way to just getr rid of a certain group of colours? I really should know this, been using photoshop since V.5.0, but I've never encountered this problem before... the borders came up after saving the files as 24-bit png format files. Stupid me, I overwrote the originals in the batch process... using photoshop/imageready 7. thanks. ry

Probably won't help, but perhaps automating Layer->Matting->Remove White Matte (or defringe?) - even then I doubt it'd be perfect. That also assumes that the image frames will load with alpha intact.

defringe 5 pixels, near perfect, and when disp[layed on a tv, should be unnnoticable, sweet. thanks bro.
