I used the Add Border transformation to add a border to the left and right of an image, in preparation to warp a portion of the left and right edges of the image so that I would end up with an aspect ratio that I required. As shown in the screen-shot, even though the border pixels were only supposed to be added to the left and right edges, there is a white artifact added to the top of the resulting image.
This may be an artifact of the display and not part of the underlying image. Does it go away at 1:1?
Unlike PWP 7 which zooms in past 1:1 by pixel replication, PWP 8 allows non-integer zoom factors so it fills the available space when zoomed to fit. The resulting image resampling can produce artifacts like the one you are seeing if you zoom past 1:1, but they are not part of the image. For photographic images, this is usually not noticeable, but for extremely sharp edges you can get a 1 pixel edge blur.
