So, you click on the marquee tool, check the options bar, px set to zero; you draw a rectangle, then cut/copy/delete/whatever, and it shows feathering?
Walk us through your steps.
You are right, this way it doesnt feather. But when I go Select>Modify>Border it feathers. I want to cut out a border or frame with rounded corners without feathering.
Then use the rounded rectangle tool, set to paths in the options bar.
How you do this depends on exactly what effect your after. An easy thing to do is this.
Select|All, Save Selection (alpha channel). Then Select|Transform Selection, in the options bar lock the aspect ratio, and reduce the selection to some value, pixels or percent.
Then place guides on that reduced selection, and use the rounded rectangle tool, snapping to the guides. Then from the Channels Palette, load that path as a selection and save the selection.
Load the first selection, and subtract the second selection with rounded inner corners (Ctrl-click on alpha 1, then Ctrl-Alt-Click on alpha 2). You will have your rounded inner border that you can cut or whatever.
You could try this: enter Quickmask mode (Press ‘Q’) and run Image > Adjustments > Threshold. Then back to Standard mode (‘Q’ again).
The down side of this is that it will also de-anti-alias your rounded corners, so maybe before you exit Quickmask, do a couple of swipes with the Blur tool over the corners.
