As a test, open a new file and fill it with all black, then use the lasso tool (with zero feather and no anti-alias checked) to outline a closed area within. Then copy and paste this selection to a new layer. Unclick the background layer so that you can see the new layer is all blank except for the black area you lasso'ed. Then use the rotate transformation to rotate your black area a few degrees, and apply this transformation. Select "ALL" and copy this layer to the clipboard.
Now go to MSpaint and create a new file and fill it with all black, then paste from the clipboard (with the "non-overlay all white" box selected) - you will see a gray outline around the area you lasso'ed in Photoshop (CS2). You can use the color inspector in MSpaint to see that photoshop created a 1 to 2 pixel outline around your lasso'ed, rotated selection, with a color of about 240.
The question then is: How can I get Photoshop CS2 to stop adding this gray outline around my lasso'ed, rotated selection?
Since I used a feather of 0, with no anti-alias, I assumed no outline would be added.
My workaround for this is to rotate the entire file FIRST, then use the lasso tool to select the area I want, and then copy and paste this area into a new layer, and, then copy the entire new layer to the clipboard, and no outline shows up when i paste it into MSPAINT. Apparantly, Photoshop CS2 adds the outline as part of the rotate transformation of a lasso'ed selection copied and pasted into a new layer.
I hope this explanation and question isn't too hard to follow.
