WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?

How do I stop that from happening? Ideally I want my design to not look like a child was drawing it and went outside the lines (it only does it when I feather the marquee).

Thanks.

I'm sure it never used to go outside the box like that?

Make sure the following is set to ZERO when you have your select tool selected.

What ?!
Im lost now, what do you want ? Feather on the select tool will always go outside of the selected area/lines, thats the whole idea behind it?

bigger square? lighter feather. / if thats zoomed in which it looks like it is o_O and only looks like 60x30

Okokokok, I messed up the wording, uber n00b with Photoshop here.

What I want is to have the corners of the marquee smoothed, but I guess I have to do it with the shape tools now..?

Your zoomed in so much that's why it looks like that, zoom to 100% and it'll be fine.

It honestly doesn't look fine when I zoom out, especially when im copying it onto another canvas.

you need to select the right box. click and hold the rectangular shape tool. then select the one thats rounded. at the top, there will be something called radius. enter a number, the higher it is, the more rounded it is.

i think thats what you want

For rounded corners, I make a square with the selection tool (M button is the shortcut) and then click on Select -> Modify -> Smooth.. The bigger the radius the more its rounded, obviously ;)
