Hello All!

I just went live with a site and someone asked me why there are faint lines 
parallel to parts of the pin stripe.

I'm viewing with 16bit color and I hadn't noticed this until it was pointed 
out to me. The graphic was exported as a sliced jpg from a psd but the 
faint line is not the edge of a slice. I'm baffled as to why it's there. 
I'm used to seeing jpg's get a little dirty along the edge of an irregular 
shape but why does this ghost appears several pixels away from the 
pinstripe when the pixels in between are the proper background color.

Any explanations? You can see it (or perhaps not) at  www.itza.ca  under 
the logo in the top left corner.
