Q. cut selection, paste to a new layer creates hairline

If I have a large file cut a selection and paste to a new layer, I end up getting a hairline - I usually fix it manually by scaling the pasted item slightly, but that's a pain.

 

Is there are way to do this without creating this artifact?

    When making your selection, be sure the Anti-alias box in the Option bar is unchecked.

    Can you describe your exact workflow?

    A full res screen shot is going to be useful here.  Make it of your entire workspace showing document window and layers panel.

      Sure -- I apologize for not having posted workflow before !

      Details -- system -- Mac M1 Powerbooks, Sonoma OSX

      1. load an image file -- in this case I'm using a photo shot with my Olympus
      2. make a selection and cut (not copy) it
      3. Paste it into a new layer, in the same place ( shift -command - V)
      4. Hairline is very noticeable 

      5. Flatten image -- hairline is slightly less noticeable than when in layers, but its still there, and is present in files exported.
