Well ....the solution was easier and more elegant than I thought possible....

I simplely opened the display properties in SM and selected the background colour to be transparent rather than solid....and presto...the red bar accross the bottom of the image clip dissappeared. To easy....

Side note the DPI was set to 96 so no change was needed...but thanks for the lesson all the same.

three Cheers to the developer ,  Guru, and alround great guy....

OLIE OLIE OLIE!

thanks again mate

Cheers

ps I'll try to post pics of the show when it all comes together!

It was the fix that seems to have worked. By simply setting the background on the clip to transparent it allowed no color to show thru the images that don't quite fill the entire projection surface.

You see we were utilizing the the layers Elipse shape to project onto a round " moom disc."

Some images didn't quite fill the entire elipse and rather than changeing the zoom percentage (designer choice}

we allowed the extra bits to just show thru......and because they are now transparent they really have no visual

presence.

It seems to meet the designers approval and that all that really matters in my world!

thanks again for all

pics coming when available.

Cheers
