Why round corners when I use marquee tool?

[ison2]

I use Photoshop 7.0, but hope someone can help me even though it's old.

I use the marquee tool frequently. It always used to have straight corners, but the past week it has started to automatically do round corners. I haven't changed any settings. Why does this happen?

I can mention that I use InDesign CS2. I have worked a lot with rectangles with round corners there recently, but every time changed the corners manually. After a couple of weeks though the program started to automatically change every rectangle to round corners. I didn't know how to change this, but after a couple of weeks it went back to straight corners automatically.

I use Windows Vista. Initially there was some problems to make it go with Photoshop and InDesign, but now it works fine most of the time.

Obviously your marquee tool has acquired a feather somehow.

Just check in the options for that tool.

check your feathering amount in the Options bar, make sure that it's set to 0

Thank you, that was it! So easy!

Amazing though that when I called the Swedish support, the guy just laughed because of my old version and said he was unable to help.. I explained my problem anyway, since I thought it can't be that different between versions, but NO. He was not interested in helping me.. Makes me wonder how some people can keep their jobs..

Thanks again!

Many thanks!  My feathering was not set to 0.

FYI, the feathering option is also there on the latest version, so technically, he could have helped you.
