Problem with Magnetic lasso

[steves]

Hi there,

I'm probably missing something obvious (aren't I always?) but when I select an area of my image using magnetic lasso tool, instead of selecting the area I've drawn around - the selection shrinks and it'll merely select a small section of image. Please see below - hopefully this illustrates my point!

Thanks!

that's because you have a feather of 100 px on your selection
you have to make it 0 px

yup, feather is your problem

I knew it would be something obvious like that.

Thanks so much!
