Colors leaking into pasted selection, simply solution?

The pictures say it all! I just want to copy my selection and paste it into a white/trans background and every time I do my selection isn't "clean". See the pants discolor...

Prior to deleting the surround, choose Refine Edge and make the appropriate adjustment

I've tried, maybe I'm doing it wrong.  The 2nd picture below, on the bottom left leg, is the result I get.

Was your Selection made with a hard edge brush in the Quick Selection tool?

Did you use the Shift Edge slider in Refine Edge?

Did you click Decontaminate Colors when saving with a mask?

In each instance, you should have.

You would be wise to upgrade to CC version: 19.1. When you do, go to the Options bar in Quick Select and choose Select Subject followed by Select and Mask in the Options bar followed by the sliders and the Refine Edge Brush tool.

Sorry for the very late response here, but when I upped the contrast it worked.

I forgive you.
