Hi All,

Essential v 4.14.4 is adding a white halo around lines and points. In an older version of essential or any ESRI programs are not doing this.

Is any one else experiencing this issue or know how to fix this?

 

Essential 4.14.4 (white halo)

Essential 4.14.2 (what the data should look like)

In ArcMap, ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online

  Essentials defaults to using the PNG8 format when it gets images from your map services.  It's quick and cheap in terms of bandwidth, but PNG8 doesn't have partial transparency support.  That ends up sometimes causing white-ish parts on feature edges when the service is actually trying to soften the edges with some semi-transparent pixels.

  The fix is:

  1. Open Essentials Manager
  2. Go to the Map Services tab in the Map page
  3. Click Edit next to the map service that has the issue (drawing with halos)
  4. Go to the Display Settings tab
  5. Change the "Image Format" dropdown to PNG32

  PNG32 supports partial transparency and show draw correctly.
