A thin gray vertical line appears to the right of a photo (of a guitar) I have placed across a spread. 
It does not appear in the image itself (in photoshop). 
It seems to be part of the image’s frame, though it only appears on the right. (The Stroke Weight of the frame is 0.) 
It appears both in Indesign Preview and Presentation modes, and in the distilled pdf.
A screen grab of the pdf is attached.
Any ideas of what causes this or how to get rid of it?

MTIA.
BR to all,
Bill Amatneek

Bill - Is it there if you crop it slightly from the right? Seems like a light crop would eliminate it. If it moves with the cropping and is still there, it’s beyond me.  — AFC

Alan’s right. I get this all the time with photos of artwork to place in a book. I don’t see the grey lines in the PDF but the copy editor always spots them and I either do the light crop mentioned by Alan below or sample the white in the photo and paint out the line.
Cheers,
Ann

Cropping it out did the trick.
Thank you, Alan, and Ann.
