GIMP :: Eraser Won't Erase?
Jan 9, 2014This has *got* to be simple - the eraser leaves everything untouched. I have tried tweaking all the settings to no avail.

View 9 RepliesI've been trying to use the Eraser Tool to erase a background sky and it won't erase. The Alpha Channel is turned on, the Selection Tools work, but the eraser does nothing.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm using a Wacom Intuos2 tablet with GIMP 2.6.12, and it works fine except as the subject says, the eraser works like a brush. In Photoshop, I don't recall exactly what it does, but I believe switching to the eraser (meaning flipping the pen over to the "eraser" side" switches from the foreground color to the background color, so that it effectively works like an eraser.
How can I do that, or something similar, in GIMP? I've searched everywhere and most of the posts have to do with getting the tablet recognized (check) and implementing pressure (check).
is there a way to erase (like with eraser tool) the artistic media brush strokes ?

I am having trouble getting the erase tool to erase part of an elipse shape in Corel Draw. I select the erase tool and click and drag across the part of an elipse that I want to get rid of (so far so good), then I release the mouse and an outline of the nib tool is left behind.

I added an alpha channel to make it a transparency.
I used the select by color tool.
I clicked white & removed.
I saved. I switched to eraser - but it is acting like I'm trying to erase something off the transparency layer and won't erase anything.
I have the correct layer selected in the layers window.
I have a square image where I want to erase everything left of a line from bottom left corner to top right corner, so it will be transparent. How's that done easiest?

But no eraser circle appeared. how can i use the eraser tool?
I've got a problem editing an image with a dotted background in it. By 'dotted', I mean an array of small evenly spaced black dots on a white background.
I've tried the fuzzy select tool which kind of works. It fills in the white space with the color I want but leaves the dots untouched. I want to get rid of the dots.
The image has a lot of rectangles containing text (these are not dotted) on this dotted background so using the select tool would be a real chore.
I have chosen to use the eraser with fuzzy edge to remove the background from a dog subject. I created an Alpha channel and made a copy of the original image as suggested in the tute. When I begin to erase it works for a few stroke then stops erasing. By trial and error I found that If I select back and forth between the original and the copy it will erase a little on each but this seems to be an irregular way of doing the job and this is not what the tutorials show. What I erase shows up on both the original and the copy, that is they compound the erasing. Should this occur? Why can't I complete the erasing on just one image. While it does achieve the removal of the background I feel I am doing something wrong.

View 1 Replies View Relatedwhat I'm doing right now is trying to erase the background of many different photos and combine them (as different layers) into one image. I finished two layers and just as I was about get going on my third layer, I made a mistake and did something to the threshold. I didn't remember what I had it on (well, it was on the default setting) so i put it back to 141 and decided to continue with my work. but then I realized that I couldn't select anything.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem with my Wacom tablet. The stylus tool works fine (gradients, pen, paint) except for the erase tool - it won't erase to full transparency when I select the erase tool then drag my stylus. This is weird, since the actual eraser end of the stylus works fine: I just hate using that end of the tool, and much prefer using the stylus' pointed end to do all my work.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using a tablet with gimp and I want to be able to set the brush size for the paint brush and also for the eraser, separately. What happens now is that I'll set the paintbrush size to 10px, paint for a little while, turn the pen over to erase and the eraser will now be at 10px. So I'll adjust the eraser size to something like 50px, erase, turn over, and now the paintbrush is at 50px. Grrrrrrr... I tried creating new brushes for both the paintbrush and the eraser, but there's no brush size option. This is my first time using gimp so I'm probably missing something.

And i would select the hue layer, and just use the erase tool and it would remove that specific hue in that area... Well now i will not do that anymore. I must have checked some box on accident or somthing. when i select the eraser tool and the hue layer, it shows the eraser circle on the picture, but it will not erase anything...

Even when I drop selection (ctrl D) and there is NO selection, I still can not erase. I have to select all (ctrl a) in order to erase anything in the workspace.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have Windows 7 and Photoshop CS6 that I bought today. I was playing around with new brushes I downloaded today and all of a sudden they stopped working. They wouldn't write and then I got this idea that maybe they were erasers and not writables.
Well they did not erase, they wrote and not in my primary color. Then when I went to show my husband...all of a sudden they worked correctly. Then I went on my merry way playing with my new brushes and they broke again. I am going to try to include pics here but I am not real good at HTML. It just seems easier to show you what is on my screen than to describe it.
So, the first picture is when I used my brush as a Brush Tool as you can see. I had to zoom in so you can see how many pixels it actually wrote. As you can see the brush is much larger. This is the second time it did this. The first time it wrote many more pixels, actually looked kinda cool with this faded ink kind of look to it.
The second is what happened when I tried to erase my coloring. As you can see, it choose the secondary color. I am not at all sure why it would choose that color of all colors. Like I said, I know nothing about computers and I am learning Photoshop.

To keep things simple what I basically have is a rectangle serving as the main portion of the bat and an ellipse serving as the knob of the bat. The ellipse overlaps the bottom portion of the bat to creat the knob. I would like to remove the portion of the ellipse that overlaps the rectangle.

I have a simple image made up of 3 layers, all unlocked.
The eraser and brush tools have no affect on the layers. It's weird, because they were working yesterday on the same image.
