I am painting my son's room. I do not like texture left of the brush marks when cutting in on the corners. When you roll on the rest of the paint you can always see where you cut in.
I have tried those sponge type pads and have tried to roll as close as I can with no success.
Doe anyone have any ideas????

Sounds like your trying to use a cheap brush. A quality brush holds more paint and if held correctly should not leave marks.
Also after the corner is painted from top to bottom one last pass needs to be made from ceiling to floor to even it all out.

I think what you need to do is after you paint the corner,you need to feather the sides. This will prevent seeing the line from where you have done your cut work. I think maybe your paint is heavier where you cut it against what you are using on your roller.
