Brush bleeds outside selection

When I select a few pixels (10 to 20) and pick a brush to paint inside the selection, several pixels outside the selection window get tinted. I have turned anti-aliasing off and set the feathering to the lowest setting allowed (0.2), but it still won’t stay in the lines.

A similar issue occurs when I cut the selection (ctrl-x). Several tinted pixels are left behind. I want Photoshop to select ALL the pixels I select, but no more.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

Do you mean the selection’s feathering? This can be set to 0 (zero).

Thanks! I was looking at the menu option Select->Feather which is 0.2.

Now I set the OTHER feather to zero both my problems were solved.

Where do you set the "other" feather to zero. I am trying to create a droplet that will resize > fit image > create white border > then save and close. The problem is that when I select all, I can not change any settings except for border. When I change the border to say 25 px, then fill, I get a feathered fill. I want a sharp crisp fill. My marquis selection tool is set to 0 already but I don’t even think that matters when you use Select all. Any thoughts? And why cant I change the Feather/Expand/Contract when I select all anyways. Also, Transform selection doesn’t work because the images are sometimes horizontal and sometimes vertical so by transforming by a certain percentage, I get uneven results. Thanks for any suggestions.
