The eraser tool is a particularly
intuitive tool. Click on the eraser icon
and then
click on an area on the canvas and while holding the mouse
button down, start dragging the cursor around the canvas.
You will quickly see why they call it the eraser tool, it
erases.
Like many of the tools we have
discussed so far, the eraser has many options which you can
select to modify how the tool works. And as usual, you can find the
options in the Options Palette.
The first option to try out is the eraser type
menu. You can choose Paint brush, air brush, pencil or block. These
options affect how the eraser erases. The effects are just as the
tools named except in reverse.
Note that when in
paint brush mode you have the wet edges checkbox as you would
expect for paint brushing
You also have the opacity slide to modify how
much of the canvas to erase and the fade tool which you should
be familiar with as well as an erase image button which will erase
the currently selected item on the canvas completely.
