Hi,
is it possible to have white borders around a panorama instead of black ? I like to print my panoramas. It is not always possible to crop to remove all borders. White border are much less intrusives than black.
Thank hou!

We don't have this feature, but if you are a Photoshop user then you can set whatever background matte that you want. Do this via the following:
- Export from ICE as a .png file (png contains an alpha channel which enables you to matte onto different backgrounds)
- Load image into Photoshop.
- Select Layer>Matting>Remove Black Matte
- Create a new layer undeneath the panorama layer.
- Fill the new layer with whatever color you desire.

I also lament the absence of an export option with white borders. As Matt Uyttendaele states above, you should save the file as a PNG, and then load it into Photoshop. You don't however need to go into layers so as to remove the Matte Black layer. You can simply save the file as a JPEG, which automatically deletes the alpha channel, and converts the border into white.
It's time consuming, and takes massive amounts of memory, but I think this is the simplest option.

I'm not sure about the comment above: when I save the stitched panorama as a JPEG, the black background is still there. But I used the following method to change the background to white. I use Microsoft Digital Image Suite, but I assume other applications permit you to do something similar. (I don't personally use Photoshop.)
I first crop the image, then highlight the black corners (or a multi-sided composite black shape, in some cases) one at a time using the Freehand Tool, with which you can make straight-sided shapes with. I then increase the exposure for the enclosed shape to the maximum value, repeating several times as necessary, until it becomes white. I then repeat the process for the other corners until the whole background is whitened, and save the image.
