    Default Indd cs4 picture box

    I recently had a problem with an Indd pict bx that had the picture
    showing out the outside of the box. Anyone run into that?

    seems to be a trap issue. I've trying some different things but those pictures shouldn't be that
    close to the other edge of the white border.

    Check to see that the stroke isn't set to "Inside".

    As MacTwidget implies the stroke position set to "inside" makes the outer edge of the stroke the same as the edge of the image, with rounding off, you may get such artifacts. The old standard used to be centred strokes, and that for a reason.
    One way to get around it is to first apply a centred stroke and then paste into an outer stroke, but work arounds aren't allways slick.
    What is your trapping setting? (is it PDF trapping or in rip?) Some set trapping to images always swell, and that isn't IMHO appropriate with modern design. I consider trapping should treat images and objects according to same rules.

    they're set for align to inside. That sound right to me.
    Our rip does the trapping and for some reason it's letting the image
    outside of the white border. I went into the PDF and when I click on it
    I added a 0.007 stroke to it. It adds it to the inside and the outside.
    That seems to fix it.
    Looking closer the center stroke or trapping it centering worked.
    Thanks
