I see the setting to change the background color but is there a way to have the background a light grey to view images that have a white border around them without the printer printing the grey background. Sometime I get an image that has a white border but dont see it until I put in the crop marks or click on the image to see the edges of the image. If this makes any sense?

You are talking about viewing it on screen, not actually printing it, correct?

Maybe I'm not understanding, but can't you just set the gray background to view on the screen and see if you have any "hidden" white borders, and then remove the back ground before you print?

You could just select the print(s) to see or, if the border is too thin to see, double click to bring them up in the editor.  But the best thing would be to not put white borders on images: it makes more sense to put them on at print time.

I could place it on then take it off just wondered if there was a way around this but Mike says not to include any borders so I will have to lay the law down and tell clients not to send photo with borders. Thx All

Yeah, I would recommend suggesting that people specify any borders they want rather than add them themselves.  This prevents issues like people adding a border to a 3:2 photo and then wanting you to print a 5x7 or 8x10, causing the resulting prints to only have borders on 2 of the 4 sides, etc.
