I've been trying to do this project and every time, with this specific project, this happens. I don't know if it's an issue with the "expand" command, because it doesn't happen with regular marquees. I can always just erase the excess and use a brush to go over the light areas until they're at their darkest, but I figured there's an easier way to do this?

So pretty much I select my image, delete the white around it. Then I expand what I have selected by 50 pixels so it surrounds my image. Then, on a separate layer, I fill the expanded marquee selection with white.


But as you can see, the color leaves small, light blotches outside of the marquee area, as seen by the feet, and part of the area within the marquee is also very light, as seen by the shoulder area. How do I solve this issue?

Thank you.

The issue is you have left a small pixels around the image. You can easily see this when you use the expand option.

Try to cut the image (image only and not the empty spaces around it) and paste it another document and try the same expand option.
