Is the purpose of this to color-in the cut and paste?  One way is copy and paste as a new layer, and colour in that layer using alpha-lock. That makes sure that anti-alising is affected. Even if you do not colour in you can cut out those pixels in a number of ways. Alpha to selction, invert selection, grow selection a pixel or two, then cut.

One possibility for colour-in 40 seconds demo https://i.imgur.com/sxCNZFj.mp4

Hi Rich2005,

Thank you for always replying to my questions. My steps were: making path(around orange fish), creating a selection from path, cutting that path, then pasting that path as a layer. If you look closely at the orange fish, you will see a fine white border around it. This is really stands out to me and the picture and I believe the picture would look better with it removed. I am trying to have the fish maintain their color while making the rest of the picture black and white. 


Also what exactly is anti-alising??? :/

Thanks again for the help!
