Photoshop :: Using Gradient As Eraser?

Aug 6, 2006

I have two layers, and one is a color version of a picture, and the other is black and white. I'm working on the top layer (black & white) and instead of using the eraser tool to selectively bring color portions to the front, I'd like to use the gradient tool and have it erase some of the black & white for me to have more of a faded look of black & white and color.

GIMP :: 2.6.12 - Wacom Eraser Works Like Brush Not Eraser?

Jan 25, 2014

I'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).

Photoshop :: Possible To Create Gradient Similar To Radial Gradient

Jan 17, 2013

Is it possible to create a gradient similar to radial gradient, except that the shape is other than circular? This image would be the starting point, but I would like the white part fading to black to be another shape (say, a rectangle, a banana, etc.).

Photoshop :: Gradient Editor Doesn't Load Gradient In CS6

Jul 9, 2012

I've been experiencing problems with the Gradient editor since I got PS and the problem is that whenever I create a gradient through the gradient editor and then load it, it does load it and instead just duplicates the ones that already exist.
 
I save all gradients at:
 
C:UsersRHAppDataRoamingAdobeAdobe Photoshop CS6PresetsGradients
 
However it does (mostly) work when I import pre-made (from web) Gradients.
 
I don't know why this happens but it also did the same thing when I had CS5.5!

Photoshop :: Eraser Not Working - JPG?

Jan 13, 2013

however the eraser tool and other methods of getting to transaperency are not working. Perhaps it is a problem with locked background colours or something, however my eraser tool is defaulted to erase to white not transparent - see picture.
 
have tried ctrl+shift+alt at start up to restore to factory settings, and even uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but no luck.also when i go to refine edge after a quick selection, there's no transparent option

Aug 9, 2008

having an issue with photoshop's eraser: the outline is not showing (the little line-circle-thing that shows the area to be erased). This happens for both the paintbrush and pencil selections of the eraser, but not for the block version

I tried changing the dimensions and such, in case it was too small, etc, and I had her restart photoshop to see if that fixed it -

Photoshop :: Eraser Problem

May 9, 2009

I have a strange eraser problem. Whenever I try and use the eraser tool it just paints the secondary color instead. In other words, instead of erasing anything it just acts like a brush.

I have tried installing the latest drivers for my wacom (prolly not the problem since it occurs with the mouse too). Just reinstalled photoshop [the entire program...re installed] and it STILL happens!!!Please help me reconfigure this silly eraser.

Photoshop :: The Background Eraser

Jul 1, 2004

I'm trying to figure out the Background Eraser tool. I understand that I am supposed to trace around the subject of interest without allowing the centre mark to touch the subject. I notice that it draws a puffy white border around the subject. Then what? What have I done? I don't see a new layer, new channel, or selection. I am able to "paste", which creates a new layer. This new layer shows my selection with the background painted white.

I just upgraded to CS4 on a WinXP Pro sp3 platform. I am attempting to work on a photo, but my eraser tool doesn't seem to be working.

I have the correct layer selected, opacity and flow are both set for 100%, and the brush size is adequate for me to see (what should be) the results.

Photoshop :: Eraser In CS5 Just Stopped Working

Nov 20, 2012

I am working on a floor plan in CS5 Photoshop. Just basically tracing over an original document and erasing what I trace over. I do this all the time and it has been working fine.

But now the eraser won't work at all. When i turn off all the layers except the background layer I can erase things, but then when I turn the layers back on, it doesn't show up erased. I've tried resetting the tool and that didn't work. I'm so confused as to why it just stopped working.

Photoshop :: Stuck On Eraser Tool

Sep 13, 2012

When I open Photoshop, no matter what tool I select, it seems to be stuck on the 'Eraser Tool'.  For example, I can seemingly select the pointer or marquee tool ok, but when I tried to do something on the art board, it's as if the eraser tool is selected.

Photoshop :: Tablet Pen Always Behaves As Eraser?

Dec 26, 2012

I have run into an interesting little problem...I just got a new graphics tablet for christmas, and it's behaving very weirdly. I've got the driver installed, and it's positioned correctly, and when I choose the brush tool and use the mouse to draw, I get a perfectly working brush tool. When I use the pen to draw, however, even with the brush tool picked, the pen functions as the eraser tool. It's not one of those pens that has an eraser on the other side.

Photoshop :: Pattern Eraser Tool

Aug 25, 2013

My eraser tool is acting strange.Whatever pattern I erase, the tool turns it into an entire rectangular area as soon as I take my finger off the mouse.  For example, if I draw an 'S' shape, it measures from the farthest corners and just erases the entire area in a neat rectangulare shape [].

Photoshop :: CS4 Trial Bugs - Eraser &...

Jul 18, 2009

I recently downloaded the Photoshop CS4 Extended Trial and installed it on my computer...I am noticing some bugs and im not really sure if its just a bug in the trial version which will be fixed when i buy the program or if there was an error with the install... I dont have screenshots at the moment since im not on the computer having the issue but i can get them if needed... First lets start with the eraser tool...When i set the eraser tool as a size of say about 10px it works fine...However, if i zoom in on the image above its nautral size i start to lose the eraser...When i say lose the eraser i mean you can no longer seen the round area which will be erased..When you zoom in part of the circle disappears...It will still erase and area of the set size but its sort of hard to do erasing on detailed images when you cant see the whole eraser.... More bugs with the eraser....If i set the eraser to a larger size, say 30px or more, i right off the bat start seeing less of the eraser area....It will go from a whole circle down to something like a half moon with only half the circle being displayed... This may be a little hard to understand so if need be i will get some screenshots of what im talking about later....  I am also having a problem with the text...For starters, i cant scroll through the text...When i enter text and highlight it and highlight the fonts i would expect to be able to scroll through the fonts while watching the actual text change on thet screen....I am unable to do that, i highlight the text and the fonts and CS4 will let me scroll maybe 4-5 fonts and then it just stops and wont scroll anymore... Another issue im having with the font is the size....Whenever i enter text it is extremely small...Even if im working with a 200px x 200px image if i set my font at say 75px its tiny, tiny enough to where i cant even see it to highlight it....There appears to be something wrong with the sizing of the text...Just to get text to show up normally, at a readable size, i have to set the font size to 800px+ and this is on images which are only like 600px wide and 300px tall...Usually a font of 800px would fill up this image but when i do it the 800px font shows up like a 36px font... Like i said if this is all to hard to understand i can get some screen shots later on...I wanna make sure this is something which can be fixed before i go ahead and drop 700+ on the program...
