How do i turn OFF feathering

Hi...

I've been using Photoshop for several years now and have never had this come up before.. I'm using Photoshop CS... and I used the Feather feature on my last project... closed Photoshop... then I opened Photoshop today and am trying to crop photos.. but the marquee still thinks i'm in Feather mode.. and wont' give me a sharp selection for cropping - it keeps reverting back to rounded corners (like with Feathering).. and won't crop properly... no matter how many times i select the rectangle/square marquee tool...it seems to think Feathering is still "turned on"... how do i get it to "turn off"?

Thanks,

kb

We're all assuming your Feathering is set to zero in the option bar?

sorry.. i should have added.. it won't let me set anything less than .2 in the Feathering option window. :-/
#3
have you tried resetting the prefs?

Before you do that, with all the associated aggro, try resetting the tool!

Wrong window. Select your Rectangular Marquee Tool and look at the top of your screen (not the Select Menu) for its Option Bar. You'll see an input area for Feather.
Or just reset your tool.
