Need to improve procedure in deleting a selection so I don't get a ring of pixels around border
I am deleting portions of the background of photographs around a subject. I want to view the subject against a plain, uniform background. so I make a lasso selection around the background behind the subject and hit delete. The background disappears, leaving a blank space, usually white. With the selection still active I select Fill, and chose a fill color. The blank space fills nicely with the desired color. But all around the selection remains a ring of white pixels. I have tried hitting Grow multiple times before deleting the content of the selection, but that does nothing to get rid of the ring of white pixels, very visible at magnification. I could use the clone tool to clone out the ring, but you can imagine what kind of time commitment that is. Is there any way to make a selection within a photograph, and replace the selected area with a fill color, without leaving a ring around the selection? Thanks. I am using the most recent CC version of PS, on Monterey OS 12.01.
