Selecting without blending the edges ?

[Gareth Patrick Murray]

Hi,

I have a question that has actually been bugging me for ages...
When I Cut or paste a feathered selection, how do I stop it from blending the edges, I want it to Cut exactly what I select?:banghead:

im confused. if you want to cut the selection exactly, why do you feather it in the first place?

Whenever you make your selection, click on Select>Refine Edge, and enter the settings you see in the screenshot. Feathering and smoothing are doing exactly what they are meant to do. I think Photoshop may have snuck in some selection settings on you, the nerve!!!

Layer via cut works well.
