Question

Filling Selection makes color go outside of selection

Hi, I need to fill in selections without a single pixle going outside of the selection, aka without without any amount of color leak.

 

Here's an example of what I mean. I know it's a very small amount, but you can see a tiny blur outside of the green, going onto the blue.

 

I have anti-alaising off, and I have Feather set to 0. Yet I will still get a small amount of smoothing, or going outside of the selection. I'm making a mask for another program, so I really need it to be solid only. How do I prevent this?

 

Thank you so much for any help!

How are you making the selection? If you save the selection or switch to Quick Mask mode, and view the selection in the Channels panel, are there any gray pixels?

There is some grey in the mask when I saved it! Is there a way to prevent any grey pixles in your selection?

Thank you so much!!!

In the Channels panel with the Selection channel active, run Image > Adjustments > Threshold.
