Cutting/Moving selection leaves semi-transparent pixels behind

Hello,

I've been struggling with an issue for some time. When cutting or moving a selection, some semi-transparent (low opacity) pixels remain on the edges of the selection that I deleted. Also when moving a selection it auto-selects other pixels on the edges and makes them transparent. Basically it's just a more natural cutting overall, but that's not what I want in my situation (I am working with a 64x64 image). I hope I was clear with my explanation.

Thank you!

Use the lasso tool and turn off Anti Alias in the options bar and make sure feather is zero before making your selection

I am having this exact issue, but my feather is set to 0 and anti-alias is off. Any thoughts? I've just been going in and cleaning it up after I remove the background, but today I finally have the time to dig into the problem. I'd love to get it figured out!

Was going through the exact same issue, but I realized my problem; what I had done was that I had used the magic wand to make a selection (background to be removed) and then switched to lasso to fine-tune deselect some pixels that got selected in the process. I had anti-aliasing switched off for the lasso screen and I still got the fuzzy edges when I pressed delete... didn't make any sense until I realized that it was because I had forgotten that anti-aliasing was still checked on the magic wand screen, the tool I had used to make the entire selection in the first place. Make sure to disable anti-aliasing on all tool-windows you are using. 🙂
