When displaying images with GraphicsRow, GraphicsColumn, and GraphicsGrid, a thin white border is added to the image. This makes it difficult to pad the image.

An example: example1

Is there a way to remove the border? Setting ImageMargins or ImagePadding to 0 does not work.

Code to reproduce the issue:

GraphicsRow[Table[Graphics@Disk[], 3], Background -> Blue] // 
 ImagePad[#, 50, Blue] &

The solution, provided by Bob Hanlon in the comments, is to set PlotRangePadding -> None. From the documentation:

"By default, 2% of padding is added to the plot range in each direction"

GraphicsRow[Table[Graphics@Disk[], 3], Background -> Blue, 
  PlotRangePadding -> None] // ImagePad[#, 50, Blue] &

fixed image

Another option, mentioned by J.W Kang in the comments is to use ImageCrop. This function will "remove borders of uniform color," ridding us of the pesky white border.
