Texture Seams issues

hey,

Iv all of a sudden run into some issues with max. For the last week iv been unwrapping and texturing several models for a scene using max 2010. Everything has been going smoothly until today.

The issue im having seems to be with the "render to texture" tool. For example, iv unwrapped a simple box;

For the purpose of this example im going to simply use render to texture to create the diffuse map (but i would have the same issue if i were to render the uvws of and take them into photoshop).

I used the following render to texture settings to create the diffuse map.

Which produced this diffuse map;

Once the diffuse map is applied to the model some of the seams are clearly visible!

Iv spent the best part of today trying to figure out what the problem is being cause by. I have tried several other models, tried saving the diffuse map as both a .jpg and a .tga i have also tried max 2009 on the same computer and max 2010 on my laptop.

Im sure its something very simple which i must just be overlooking?

Id greatly appreciate any help i could get.
Thanks.

Are you sure that in your PSD file your uvw layer isn't turned on ?

Also be sure to bleed the edges by a few pixels. Some kinds of texture filtering seem to cause this problem, but bleeding the edges by about 5 pixels generally fixes it.

Alternatively, why not simply colour in all the black areas white? That would solve it.

Check if the blur and blur offset spinners of the bitmap "map" are set to 0 (it will not make the seams go away completely but it will help)
