when i use the select or the crop tool, sometimes... well, most of the time i end up cutting off half of a pixel so after i save a picture i get the edge sorof faded. this is bad when i want to chop up picture so i can place them next to each other on a web site or something. how to i let photoshop ONLY select whole pixels... like MSPaint...

I don't have access to my Photoshop computer right now, so I apologize if this is a tad vague but:

It sounds to me like your selections are being feathered. Go to Select>Feather and make sure it is set to 0 pixels.

If that doesn't solve the problem, you can try modifying your selection by a set number of pixels. This command is also found under the Select menu.

its not feathered..... its like, instead of choosing either 50 or 51 pixels(which ever the cursor is closer to) it chooses 50.2 or 50.7 or something like that. when i cut it, it fades the very edge line of pixels depending on how far or close i was to how many pixels the image actually has. if i cut it at 50.2 pixels... the image would still be 51 pixels, but the 51st line would be very faded. i want it to be like paint where it will choose a whole amount of pixels with no 'inbetween'..... this is only noticable when i cut apart my image and ut them back together in a web page(by the way, its not the coding that messes it up, im sure that its photoshop doing this).... i cant find the selection modifier. im using CS2

The modify menu can be found under Select>Modify. There are four option under the modify menu: Border, Smooth, Expand, and Contract.

I must admit I'm stumped on this one. Not sure if the modify menu will help or not, but it's worth a look.

no, the modify menu can only add pixels to the selection. it doesnt even them out so that theres no tenths of a pixel
