Erasers

Eraser

Click and drag with the eraser to rub out mistakes.

Note

Unlike other tools, the erasers draw in the background color. To draw in the foreground color, use the right mouse button.

The eraser only has square shapes. To draw with other shapes such as circles use the Brush and the right mouse button.

Tip

Double-click on the Eraser icon to clear the entire image. This is equivalent to using the Clear option on the Image menu.

Color Eraser

Click and drag to replace pixels of the foreground color with the background color. To replace all pixels similar (but not necessarily exactly equal) to the foreground color, such as in dithered images and photos, use a Color Similarity setting other than Exact.

Note

Unlike other tools, the erasers draw in the background color. To replace pixels of the background color with the foreground color, use the right mouse button.

You can configure the eraser size.

Tip

Double-click on the Color Eraser icon to apply it to the entire image.
