My fill has a mysterious line in it

[mightyfun]

Can anyone give me a suggestion for getting rid of these lines in my fill?

I took off the border around the image and it appears to have a white line just on the top and bottom edges.


Thanks for any help,

Jen

Sorry, I forgot to attach the image.

If you click the fill with the fill tool you will see that the handles correspond with the white line as this is the join between the tiles that make the fill. By stretching the fill handles so they exten the width of the elipse the line will disappear, as attached.
If you made the fill yourself you could try remaking it with a little more care to the edge of the bitmap to ensure a better fit to eradicate the white line.

Place your tile over a filled object( your dot fill), and export it out from there. Then insert the image tile and fill from the bitmap gallery.

Hi Jen,

I moved the bottom most dot up a pixel in your vector shapes and created another bitmap copy to use for the fill.

A bit more detail of what was done is in the attached .xar file.

Bill,

Thanks for the step by step, I also noticed you had yours at a 96 ppi and I had mine at 300 ppi. I changed mine and it seemed to make all of the difference.

Thanks,

Jen

Jen, you are welcome.

Generally anything for display should be made at 96 ppi, there are some exceptions (as with anything in the world).

Higher resolution images are usually for print.

I know I've gone over this before, but my mind is particularly thick.

So tell me again how I can avoid having fuzzy bitmaps that without setting the ppi at 300? I use my graphics for my website and it always seem to be blurry unless I have it set to 300.

I must be missing something. I feel like a broken record.
