To erase with the Standard Eraser:

1. Select Standard Eraser from the Tools toolbar's Eraser Tools

flyout.

2. (Optional) Change attributes, especially brush Size and Opacity, on the

context toolbar.

For erasing with an airbrush effect or hard-edged brush, check the

Airbrush or Hard Edge option.

For tablet users, pressure sensitivity can be switched on via Brush Options

(click Brush thumbnail); ensure the Controller drop-down list is set to

"Pressure" on selected attributes.

3. Drag with the tool on the active layer. On the Background layer, erased

pixels expose the current background color. On other layers, they expose

transparency.

To erase with the Background Eraser:

1. Select

Background Eraser from the Tools toolbar's Eraser Tools

flyout.

2. (Optional) Change properties on the context toolbar:

• For tablet users, pressure sensitivity can be switched on via Brush

Options (click Brush thumbnail); ensure the Controller drop-

down list is set to "Pressure" on selected attributes.

• The Tolerance setting determines the breadth of the color range

to be erased.

• With "Contiguous" limits (the default), the tool erases only

within-tolerance pixels adjacent to each other and within the

brushes width; this tends to restrict erasure to one side of an edge

or line. When you set "Discontiguous" limits, all matching pixels

are erased under the brush even if they are non-adjacent (great

for removing uniform background like sky). The "Edge Detected"

setting can improve erasure along one side of a contrasting edge

or line.
