Eraser Tool
The Eraser Tool does what it says...... it erases. But
there are a few idiosyncrasies you should be aware of.
The Eraser Tool works best on
Layers,
if you try to erase
an image comprised of just one layer with a solid
background rather than a transparent one, it will erase
the image along with the mistake leaving a streak of
what ever color you have selected as your background
color on the Color Palette. The Eraser Tool will erase
on a Layer
that is not transparent but it will not erase on the
Background Layer unless that layer is Transparent.
Note in the example, when I worked on layer 2,
only that portion of the picture that was actually on that
layer was erased. (A portion of the blue rectangle and
it's shadow). The underlying layers were untouched. When
I worked on layer 1 only portions of the red rectangle and
it's shadow were erased. When I erased on the background
layer the background color of the image was replaced by the
background color on the Color Palette. (This is because my
Background Layer was not transparent). The layers above
the background were untouched by the operation.
The normal
Brush
options are available with the Eraser Tool.
The example to the right shows a small selection of
Opacity settings and Paper Textures applied with the Eraser
Tool.
