I think I see what you're asking. No, I don't think Photoshop has a
function for viewing the image on a borderless white field
(unfortunately; I can see how something like that could be handy).

Are you on a Mac or PC? On a Mac, you could write an Applescript (which
you could trigger via keyboard command using Quicksilver, for example),
that would Select All, Copy Merged, create a new document the size
of your monitor resolution, Paste, and switch to fullscreen view. That's
hackish huh?


Try this:

Changing the Matte Color. You can change the neutral gray background color
that surrounds your image when you're in full-screen mode or when you
expand the document window larger than the image itself. Just pick a
foreground color, and then Shift-click on the background with the Paint
Bucket tool (it's in the Gradient tool's popout menu). It's a good way to
preview how an image will look if you're going to place it on a colored
background.

Hope that solves your problem. The PC I'm usinmg at the moment doesn't have
Photoshop, so I cant tell you if it gets rid of the black border that
appears when the background is grey.

All the Best
