I really don't feel like reinstalling yet, so I'll just ask around. I have PS7 installed at the office. Something's happened recently that I can't undo: whenever I choose a rectangular selection, and do something like Select>Modify>Smooth, the corners are aliased. Now my fills look blocky and disgusting(even when I'm working in a PSD). I haven't yet found a setting that undoes this, and can't imagine what I did that made it happen in the first place. Every other selection tool works as expected. My jagged webpages thank you.

I could be wrong, but from my understanding, PS uses the paintbrush settings to fill in the selections. Try setting the brush's hardness to 0% and then filling it in.

Hope I could help.

::EDIT::
I have the same problem, now, but I don't know why... except, my edges are all anti-aliased. I want jagged corners!

You can delete the prefs but you will lose all changes you made.

Try selecting a tool, then in the top bar with the tool's settings, click on the left-most icon depicting the tool itself. You should see two menu items appear; Reset Tool and Reset All Tools. Click the second one. If your problem is related to a setting somewhere in a tool that'll fix it.

Sorry, didn't work. I'm afraid I can't give much more info on what I did to cause this, because I've never successfully UNdone it yet.

I think reinstalling is my only option at this point.
The only thing holding me back was resetting all of my preferences and such-- but I'm willing to cope at this point.

May sound silly, but the selection tools actully have a anti-alias check box... did you look at that?

did you do something to the layer style? that might be the prob.
