How to Hard Fill a selection?

Question

Below is an example of how my selection fill works. Instead of doing a hard black fill, it does a gradient of black to white up to the selection. How do I make it fully black, and stop at the selection?

Sorry, that was confusing verbiage.I created a Fixed Selection that was 100 pixels less than the canvas.Canvas: 3300 X 2550 ----> Fixed Selection: 3200 X 2450I centered the selection, and then Select > Inverse. That created the border that I wanted. I then used the Fill to get the black border.Have you tried this method to create a border inside? Create a new blank layer, just in case. Make sure that layer is selected in the Layers panel.Select > AllEdit > Stroke, set it to Inside (in this case), 100% Opacity, enter the number of pixels in Width text field, and choose a color.

Check whether your selection is inverted (which would explain the fill outside rather than inside a selection) and also check the feather settings (which would explain the gradient rather than hard edge)
