Photoshop Paths

What up. I'm new here. This might be a stupid question for some of you, but I've just started having this problem when drawing a path. After I draw it, I command/click on it to load it and it loads the inverse of it. I know I can just invert that selection, but for some stupid reason, Photoshop makes an inverted selection one pixel larger than the actual selection I want. Maybe they'll fix that in 8. Anyway, help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

After you make the path, click on the path tab and then right click and 'make selection.' Make sure the feather radius is set to zero here and you should be set.

As far as the selection being inversed, I have no idea why it's doing that, unless you're hitting ctrl+shift+i on accident or something.

Good luck.

I'M STILL NOT SURE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE INVERSE OF THE PATH TO LOAD, BUT I RESET THE TOOL AND NOW IT IS WORKING FINE. YOU'D THINK SOMETHING THAT MAJOR WOULD BE IN THE MANUAL.
