Hello.
I have a problem with Photoshop (8.0 CS – Swedish version). I’m not sure what all the tools and stuff are called in the English version but I hope you can understand what I’m talking about.
When I change things in a selection made with colour selection the area outside the selection is effected as well. When I select things in other ways there doesn’t seem to be a problem, it’s only with the colour selection. Like this:
All but the brighter areas are selected here and I use the colour selection to select the brightest pixels in the selection.

Now I try and paint in the selection with a 100% pen (red 255 0 0) and as you can see the area outside the selection is also effected by the brush (though not the area that was outside the first selection). Even though the brush is set to 100% opacity it doesn’t completely cover the background (neither inside or outside the selection).

It’s the same problem if I try to change the selected area in other ways, e.g. brightness/contrast or even when I copy and paste the selection (the area outside the selection follows when I copy!)
This is obviously very frustrating. I have selected pixels with colour selection before without any problem. This started yesterday and I have no idea why. I have tried to restart PS, restart the computer, reinstalling PS and I have tested other pictures but the problem persists!
Help!
Thanks
