I am working on a TW skin and hit a problem I think some of you might know given how much we all use photoshop. I use photoshop a lot but my overall understanding of the program is still limited. I am just try to take an image, use the Marquee tool to select an area of it, delete the un-selected portion, and then apply a style to the remaining image (such as drop shadow, etc.).

However, every time I Layer Via Cut the image left has been faded on the edges. I can't seemed to figure out how to change this setting. Here area a few screen shots to explain.

Image:

Marquess Tool Select:

Right click and select Layer Via Cut and the edge/image fades:

Close up of faded area:

Here is an example of what I made yesterday doing something similar:

Thoughts?

You have a feathered edge you can't do it that way. You need to make your corners with a sized 0 feathered elliptical marquee tool.

I.E: Make a circle size 20 and move to one corner > then inverse (select menu) and hit delete > reverse invert and move to all corners and repeat.

another way is too use the Rounded Rectangle Tool and set the Radius to suit your requirements. (make this a new layer and adjust opacity to view) draw over your design. When happy use the Magic Wand to select it. Turn that layer off and then highlight the layer to receive the treatment, inverse and delete. (or) only select the "outer" in the first place (then you want need to inverse)
