Irritating Green Bleed? Penicillin?

OK. I've kinda been here before.

I've got a PSD logo. There is a solid leaf-green element to it. Reduced by Pan/Crop or TM I'm getting an irritating green-bleed about . . woah ... 3 to 5 pixies deep. It is pale and soft focused. But it is there.

It's come from a MASSIVE, 5169 x 1116 pixel, PSD file. The PSD file is sharp and superb. I reduce it to fit 720x576 or reduce more, I get GREEN bleed from around the GREEN areas. I've removed its white background with chroma key, which is quite good, but I am still getting this green bleed or "halo".

Oh, what you might want to know is that the PSD file HAS a transparent background, but when I get this into Vegas the transparent background cannot be carried over. Presently I'm rendering this against some solid white > Chroma Keying OUT the white > rendering to UNCOMPRESSED > bringing BACK the transparent BG . . and this is what I have presently. Still got this "bleed" - irritating!

Any advice would be neat.

TIA ..

Have you tried saving the PSD file as a PNG, the alpha from that should work in Vegas. Apart from that your bleed might have something to do with the matting, premuxed and all that jazz that goes over my head so I just try all the options :)

Also why not do the downscale in PS?

Hi Bob,

Have you tried saving the PSD file as a PNG, Yup, did that first off . .

Apart from that your bleed might have something to do with the matting, premuxed and all that jazz that goes over my head so I just try all the options :) LOL!!!!

Also why not do the downscale in PS? Yup, did that too, that was PRIOR to the PNG-ing.

What actually SAVED my bottom was to DOWNSCALE & change the size of the pixel. OOOoo forgot about that one!!! Anyways, use SMART Re-size of pixel function in PSP and that did a lot for it. I then was able to CK out the background and get rid of most of the "halo".

Love it!!! LOve it!!!

Thanks again Robert,
